Why read it?
1 author picked The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is Anatole France’s first novel: a curious two-part story about two “crimes”—the first not selling valuable books which were intended to pay for the dowry of his daughter/granddaughter (depending on which edition you read); the second rescuing his daughter/granddaughter from an abusive guardian. Apart from the wonderful style of writing, I found the curious detachment of the protagonist, detailed in diary form, unusual and oddly compelling.
From Richard's list on which you may have never heard anything.
