Lifelike and Vibrant Book

This book really is a classic coming-of-age novel. The winner of the French 'Best Novel of the Year' award in 1986, this book presents shockingly vibrant characters and real-life situations. The book is passionate, humourous, and risqué. The plotline is a little bit shocking at first, as it has to deal with a sixteen-year-old boy who takes a thirty-something married woman as his mistress. The relationships between the main characters are really well-portrayed and realistic. This book also provides an insight into French culture, for anyone who is intrested. The French in this book is also not too hard, so I would recommend it to anyone who is comfortable with their French, but not yet advanced enough to read the eighteenth-century classics.
