Review: Livre hautement recommandé
Rating: 5 out of 5

The Chapel in the Woods is an intriguing and gripping novel which shows that human nature stays the same as the centuries pass. The three strings of the book are set in different periods of history in the same village, but each shows how a stranger from overseas overcomes the enormous challenge of penetrating the social cocoon of a tight village. Written with rare subtlety (Diana watched his words float up round his head twisting and turning in wisps like cigarette smoke), Susan Louineau creates real and believable characters whose emotions are shared by the reader. A comfortable five stars, which I would recommend to people of all ages.
