I loved reading this book so much! I had to slow down many times to ensure I was enjoying it. There was so much covered regarding the Chinese people who worked in France during WW1.
I must say that Camille's character was not my favourite. It was terrible and sad what happened to her. And I think the only reason she began as a duchess in the story was to further isolate her from any female friends. But I found it hard to reconcile hers and her father's characters with the people described before and after they moved to the cottage.
Pauline was a lovely character and I would love to read a part 2 to her book. It seems the story leaves off in 1937, a very interesting time indeed.
