I really give it a 3.5. Most reviewers give it a 4....I almost gave up on this as it was difficult to plod through in the beginning but I'm glad I stayed with it. However for me...there were too many characters and story threads going on at the same time and I found it confusing and interfering with Marianne's story.
Marianne is stuck in a loveless, unhappy marriage. After forty-one years, she has reached her limit, and one evening in Paris she decides to take action. Following a dramatic moment on the banks of the Seine, Marianne leaves her life behind and sets out for the coast of Brittany, also known as the end of the world.

Here she meets a cast of colorful and unforgettable locals who surprise her with their warm welcome, and the natural ease they all seem to have, taking pleasure in life s small moments. And, as the parts of herself she had long forgotten return to her in this new world, Marianne learns it s never too late to begin the search for what life should have been all along.
