I love the Shakespeare book store. It’s exactly what a book store should be…cluttered, cramped, dusty, and full of treasures. I found a book called Sarah’s Key. As WWII is a particular interest of mine, it piqued my curiosity. What a wonderful story! It intertwined the history of one of the darker stories of Paris during the war, with a modern day woman’s story of her life married to a Frenchman. <BR/><BR/>I bought four other books and, on leaving the store, jested with the clerk that if he sees me coming again, to please lock the door! J I have too, too many books already. <BR/><BR/>Nice column today, thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-67104683259899729462008-06-11T09:26:00.000-04:002008-06-11T09:26:00.000-04:00Bonjour, Carol!I have seen this Laduree book you h...Bonjour, Carol!<BR/>I have seen this Laduree book you have shown on ebay, and wondered how good a read it was.
