My Reviews
Wonderful choice for a book club read as it has so many interesting aspects to discuss. The book is well-written with evocative descriptions of Paris and the life of an ex-patriot.
But the best books for discussions are those that go beyond just an enjoyable read, like this one. An Unexpected Guest focuses in on a single day in the life of Clare Moorhouse, but is really the day when her past confronts her and threatens to disrupt the serene (if somewhat constrained) life that she has created for herself as a diplomat's wife.
While all readers may not agree with the choices that Clare has made, there are not necessarily clear cut answers and it's this ambiguity that makes the book so interesting. Definitely recommend this for book groups!
