Why read it?

1 author picked Bonjour, Sophie as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It's a coming-of-age novel and so much more. Buchan weaves her narrative into a mystery that must be solved as much for the reader as for Sophie, whose story recalled, for me, the young heroines of Elizabeth Jane Howard, modern women cramped by convention, yet spirited and courageous. A wonderful, engrossing, tear-jerking and joyful read - it felt like a beam of light cast in the darkness of post-war Britain and the joie de vivre of Paris. Irresistible!
