Number 70- Strange gardens- Michel Quint

 

A short but sweet cheat read.  this killed half an hour in the pub last night while I was waiting to go to the cinema and having a quick bite to eat.

The young narrator is embarrassed about his dad's clowning hobby. his uncle fills him in on the reasons for it.  A surprisingly dramatic story about sabotage and capture whilst they were in the French resistance opposing the Nazi regime.

The translation is nice and smooth.  It held my interest. It's very slight- as witnessed by me reading it in about half an hour.  There really isn't much more to say about it.
