Sans Moi by Marie Desplechin
It was a wonderful book. So different from the usual "stories". It was about a year in the life of Anna, a writer and a single mother. She hires a young girl Olivia as a babysitter. Olivia is a recovering drug addict with several other issues as well. On the face of it, Olivia is highly unsuitable as a babysitter, but yet she is a person with a lot of promise.
Anna and Olivia help each other out and develop a friendship.
It was likened to a novel by Colette, but it wasn't. Do not look for anything naughty in here.
The book was about faith and trust and healing. Excellent!
