Le Bonheur | 
Ambivalent about this novel. I liked the subject matter (Jewish children in WWII & the people trying to protect them from nazis with a supernatural twist) & the author's choice to intersperse the story with straight factual sections on various topics, but I don't think it ever gelled into a coherent, authentic whole, mainly because the fiction side is underwhelming & unsophisticated, with too many details (food!) added for the author's pleasure ⬇
Still, some of the descriptions were beautiful, and the book is set in the village of Montfaucon and in Besançon, both in the #Doubs département, which is perfect for my personal challenge to read books set in this part of France.
