A review by cait_readsxox
The Blood of Others by Simone de Beauvoir

4.0

This was almost a 5 star read for me! This is a modern classic that is phenomenal! I love the discussions of life in WW2 while living in France. Although this book is fiction, it open the discussion of generational wealth, the bourgeois class, and the occupation in France leading up to WW2 and during WW2. I learned new things that I never learned in school about this time period. The writing is great..but truly what made this an even better book was the complex characters and the tense scenes and discussions taking place in the novel. Highly recommend everyone gives this book a try
