Author: Smith, Bonnie G.
Condition: New
Bonnie Smith here tells Madame Lucie's colorful life history, first by skillfully recording the concierge's reminiscences and then by describing her own observations as a participant in Madame Lucie's world. The overall effect is an unusual, richly textured image of modern France as it was experienced by a figure of the working class. Madame Lucie's life and her memories-moving, engrossing, entertaining-are a valuable source of insight into French culture and society. As she herself says early in the book, "What I'm telling is the history of France."
