“Paul McVeigh has written a first novel of beautiful generosity, poignant in the delicate manner in which he evokes the brutality of an era. A striking fresco, mixing historical upheavals and hardships of a family shattered.” Le Monde
It’s great to know that readers in France have been reading Un bon garcon and enjoying it so much they’ve nominated it for this award.
So rub your rabbits foot, cross your fingers, say a prayer… what do the French do for luck? – and maybe I’ll be the winner.
Oh that gives me a thought…. to celebrate my shortlisting I’m giving away a copy of Un bon garcon. All you have to do is answer the question…
What do the French say is good luck if you do it with your left foot?
Write your answer below and I’ll pick a winner at random evening of Monday 23rd.
