This week in their French class they finished La Bête Humaine (The Human Beast), a late 19th century novel by Emile Zola.
The early reviews are in: 'It's the best book I've ever had to read in French.'
OK, you might not want to put that on the back dust jacket, but considering the source (my daughter), it is high praise.

What class are they reading that in? I was rather surprised that neither of my girls (including one in L) ever had to read a total work by a 19th century French author.
When they do read, both of my girls now read in English too (they are 21 and 23.)
2nde. They are reading lots of the French writers now.
