If you belong to a book group, this is the book for you. My group talked about this book for hours before we turned to other topics. And I hope they'll forgive me for describing phenomenology as "educated navel gazing." Completely engrossing slice of two intersecting lives in one apartment building in Paris.

Loved it. Hated the ending even though I know it was necessary. Hmph.
