A Country Road, a Tree by Jo Baker
4.0
I found this book intriguing. It was hard to get into the rhythm of it at first. I struggled with the POV and tense choice (3rd omniscient and present tense) but after a while I got used to it and seemed to sort of fall in step with the writing.
Fascinating life. After recently reading a book set in London in the 2nd World War it was very interesting to read the French perspective. I have never really thought about what it would have been like in occupied France. Slow moving story, and I can't say I particularly cared for the character - I don't really feel like I got to know him well enough - but once I finished it, in reflecting I really did quite enjoy it.
