Happy People Read and Drink Coffee by Agnes Martin-Lugand FIC Mar
This is a novel that was translated from French. It is the story of Diane who was enjoying a great life. She was happily married with a wonderful daughter. She was also the owner of a small literary cafe in Paris which bears the same name as the novel. But as we all know, life can change in a split-second. As the novel begins she tragically loses her husband and daughter. Diane can not find a way to go forward in life. After a year of living in a deep depression she decides to make a change and move to Ireland. She never wanted to even visit Ireland - that had been a dream that belonged to her husband.
Even though Diane keeps her story to herself and tries to keep a low profile, she is eventually enveloped by some of the people living in this small town. I thought the book was well-written and it was easy to feel all of the pain and despair of Diane.
