Why read it?
1 author picked Three as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Three took me back to the intense friendships of my youth, the sharing of so many firsts. Friendships you believe will last forever. Translated from French, it’s a wonderful study of three children, all very lost in their own way.
Set from the 1990s to 2018, the novel chronicles the development and decay of the children’s friendship, and a mystery that haunts their small village for twenty years.
I enjoyed the creeping tension, the gradual revelations, and the deep study of friendship with all its wounds and warts.
