I can't tell you much about this book – if I did you
wouldn't want to read it! Despite its
off putting title and cover I found myself chuckling a lot as I read it. So entertaining, so French.
The translation is a tour de force.
Here are some of the things others have said about the
book (leaving out all spoilers):
It
has the pleasing weirdness that makes Laurain's novels so appealing – The
Sunday Times
Smoking Kills is one heck of a book … a romp and a satire and it is a reminder of all that is funny-peculiar about Parisian culture. Read this book. It will be good for your health.’ Shots Magazine
This is a real tonic for the soul (…) Smoking Kills is a very black
comedy, it is a lot of wicked fun (…) original and playful and
entertaining.’ Nudge
Books
Hilarious, formidable — and essential packing for any French
Summer holiday’ The
Daily Mail
Interesting book title! Glad you enjoyed it so much!!
