    A film by Diane Kurys. "[A] beautifully crafted historical melodrama… Thierry is luminous in a complex yet understated role!” —Boyd van Hoeij, The Hollywood Reporter. France / 2013 / Drama / French with English Subtitles / 110 min
    In her mid-thirties, Anne still knows little of her family’s past. After her mother’s death, Anne discovers old photos and letters that convince her to take a closer look at her parents’ life after the concentration camps of World War II.
    Her research reveals the a mysterious uncle everyone seems intent on forgetting. As she gets closer to the truth, her father grows ill and may take the family secret to his grave.
    In a journey that stretches from post-war France and to the 1980s, Anne’s destiny intertwines with her father’s past until they form a single, unforgettable story.

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever - http://www.simonandschuster.com/…/Jeannette-W…/9781439156964

No book to read for December.  Bring a wrapped book (paperback, or hardback – may be new or gently used) with no name on it.  Some people have added bookmarks or other small item, but gifts shouldn't be very expensive.  We’ll then do a swap and steal to see who gets the best book!
