Chosen by Rachel
The story of an Algerian city swept by a plague. It raises questions relating to destiny and human psychology.
♥ “This book’s references to WWII and the Nazi occupation of France were significant, as was the author’s dissection of the human condition. But it was a bleak story with no hope of redemption, and I had to ensure I did not let that overshadow the story’s importance. Pleased I read this masterpiece.” – Rachel
