A Love for the Ages
A Love for the Ages | Daniel Pennac
2 posts | 1 read
Jean and Germaine are the most affable couple the little village of Colle sur Loup has ever seen. A duke married to a commoner, they have no children, no jobs, and are disastrous cooks! They like to indulge in life's small pleasures; their books, their garden, and their after-lunch naps. They live for each other, and for their love. Their simple happiness intrigues, fascinates, infuriates and is the envy of all those around them. Daniel Pennac knew Jean and Germaine well. He spent his time at their house reading, watching, learning, and, of course, trying Germaine's catastrophic efforts in the kitchen! He's now taken it upon himself to tell the story of those happy days, and of a love that has always captivated him.

Sometimes the love for all ages is not your own, but one that teaches you what love should be like. A man is telling a story in a restaurant that a graphic novelist will draw. It is a love story, but not his. Instead it is about an older couple he met as a child who stayed with him in his life and heart past their death. These two souls who were with each other through thick and thin, whose love of books kept them happy and provided a living.
