The Artist
My 3-line (ish) book review:
A quiet, atmospheric novel set in 1920s Provence, exploring the cost of creativity and the pursuit of art.
It's a slow-burn kind of read: cinematic and slightly ominous.
Did I like it? hmm… I appreciated it. It was well written and insightful. It’s objectively a good book - but I think I was in the mood for something more escapist.

One of our favourite restaurants in Annecy is a Little House on the Prairie themed restaurant called Chez Ingalls. It makes absolutely no sense, but it’s lovely and delicious!
