lattelibrarian 's review for:
Oscar et la dame rose
by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt
This book was given to me by my friend's family at Christmas. They knew I was doing my best to read in French, so right off the bat: if you're learning how to read in French (read: comprehension, plot, attempting to remember things that happened a couple chapters ago--don't laugh! It's harder than you think!), this is the perfect book.
In only 100 pages, we are carried along with Oscar through all the trials and tribulations of his short and long life. We fall in love with the characters, and struggle with Oscar's parents. We hold our breath for Peggy Bleu, the little blue girl, and we smile through Mamie-Rose's stories. Oscar et la dame rose is a poignant novella, and one that I think should be read by everybody, of all nationalities, of all ages.
This book left me in tears. I felt as though I knew Oscar by the end. In fact, I think we all have a little bit of Oscar in us by the time we finish this book.
"Tout le monde meurt. Tes parents, un jour. Moi, un jour."
