by Pierre LeMaitre
The first in a planned trilogy of the post war years but there is a surprise appearance of characters from the previous trilogy of the interwar years!
This story revolves around the Pelletier family. The father runs a very successful soap company in Lebanon but his four children are still finding their way in life with mixed results. This is the tale of how it unfolds, which takes us from Lebanon to Saigon to Paris and in true LeMaitre style is peppered with surprises along the way. A bit gruesome in parts, along with a smattering of humour this is great storytelling 9/10
