The Life Before Us - Romain Gary

We do love a good orphan story, it's true. First published in 1975, we follow Momo, an Arab boy who is orphaned and comes to live with Madame Rosa, former prostitute, Holocaust survivor, and all around baddy, as they make their lives in Belleville, on the rough edges of Paris. I believe we can call this novel 'darkly funny.' Like new copy
