“This is a translation from a French Canadian author and not done very well.
This is a simple story of a neighbourhood coming together in a crisis. It felt as if the author had an idea and then tried to write a book around it, sadly the publisher thought it was a good idea too.
Our book group gave it a generous 3.75/10 I’m less inclined with a lowly 2/10
