review 1: I really liked this book. It's different. I love the story behind it. When the author was living in at this address in Paris during the 1980s, an old woman that lived in the apartment building died. Having no relatives, the landlord allowed the other tenants to scavenge through her stuff. The author's mother salvaged a small box of mementos. The box contained old love letters from WWI, mesh church gloves, a rosary, dried flowers and photos. The author kept the box and wrote the story to go with the items in the box. Trevor Stratton discovers a box full of artifacts from WW1. The pictures, letters, & objects in the box relate to the life of Louise Brunet, charming Frenchwoman who lived through both World Wars. The more time Trevor spends with the objects, the truer his... more imaginings become, and the more he notices another alluring Frenchwoman: Josianne, his clerk, who planted the box in his office, and with whom he finds himself falling in love.
review 2: I was given this book over a year ago by a friend and left it sitting lifeless on the shelf. In the midst of my currently drudging workdays I had noticed sometime in the past year I had moved it - I believe with intent to dispose of - to my car in which it sat teeming with eagerness until I was finally seduced into picking it up so I may have something to read on my offtime at work. Little did I know what an enthralling scandal I was about to partake. My thighs steamed while I fell into place, imagining those needed gloves on my hand as I giggled away false affairs to a priest and grew to be the object of infatuation for an anamoured and roused fifteen year old girl. I giggled and gasped my way through shy of 300 pages worth of confusion and sex and war and anger and infertility. This has been the most interactive book I have read in a very long time. The pictures of men still young yet aged by war and the scrawl of passionate love letters has completely tugged me into a paranormal and fiery collection of memoirs otherwise left meaningless. Mrs. Louise Brunet, whoever you were, I pray your life was as passionate and lived and envy strength to love men of war. Tips to you. less
