You can try to forget, but sometimes the past can return: in the scent of a bar of soap, in whispers darting through a village after mass, in the color of an undelivered letter. Jeanne Nerin and Marie-Angle Baudry grow up side by side in the Catholic village of Ste. Madeleine, but their worlds could not be more different. Marie-Angle is the grocers daughter, inflated with ideas of her own piety and rightful place in society. Jeannes mother washes clothes for a living. She used to be a Jew until this became too dangerous. Jeanne does not think twice about stealing food when she is hungry, nor about grasping the slender chances life throws at her. Marie-Angle does not grasp; she aspires to a life of comfort and influence. When war falls out of the sky, the forces that divide the two girls threaten to overwhelm those that bind them together. In this dizzying new order, the truth can be buried under a pyramid of recriminations -- from publishers web site. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1739665 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744915 After a painful divorce, Savannah White wants nothing more than to find her happy place.
