The Confidant/ by Helene Gremillon/ 245 pages

It took a little bit to get into this book, if I remember correctly, but once I did I was hooked.  Crazy story about a woman feeling the pressures of infertility in France during WWII.  The lengths she went to are extraordinary.  And the story of those affected by her desires are equally compelling.  Great for book discussion, just sad I had to miss mine!
