M, I c...Heather, thanks for having me on the tour!<br /><br />M, I can believe that it was more philosophical than anything else - sounds like Kundera. I've yet to read that one, but I'm adding it to my TBR now :) And I totally agree with you - a novel set in France is most definitely delightful!<br /><br />Lisa, I concur. This book was definitely more about philosophy than an actual plot - talk about absurdities in life overdrive. It only dawned on me as I was reading it that I could count it towards Paris in July - LOL!Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-56351198281605241692015-07-12T19:06:23.146-04:002015-07-12T19:06:23.146-04:00I'm thinking all of Kundera is thought-provoki...I'm thinking all of Kundera is thought-provoking, but maybe not so lacking in an actual plot. Which is not to say I didn't enjoy it. And I completely missed that I could count this as a Paris in July book!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-55265081772979563722015-07-10T14:28:55.393-04:002015-07-10T14:28:55.393-04:00The only book by Milan Kandera which I've read...The only book by Milan Kandera which I've read before is <i>The Unbearable Lightness of Being</i> which was rather heavy for me at the time...I hope I'm correct in remembering that it was more philosophical than anything else. (This was at least twenty years ago, I think.) But, this new novel and set in France? How delightful!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-62407291751387959682015-07-08T20:51:48.543-04:002015-07-08T20:51:48.543-04:00A thought-provoking read indeed!
