Realistic look at a breast cancer diagnosis from a young woman feeling invincible at the age of 37. It is well written and quite funny. Our book club cried and laughed throughout the book. And we all had flashbacks to our teenage mishaps.

Very informative of the French Revolution from a female's (Marie's) point of few. Same social issues exist today as back then. The old adage "history repeats itself" is so true. Very well written. One member brought a vocabulary list of challenging words to our meeting for review. Went well with wine.

A well written but difficult to read book due to the slavery/bondage content. But, our book club had the best discussion session ever. Worth the read for the insightful conversations. This book had you thinking weeks after you finished it.
