Tales from the Heart: True Stories from My Childhood Paperback – January 1, 2004

I read this book recently in my book club -- its a beutiful memoir and a fast read too- Maryse manages to portray her story as best as she could from a child's perspective

Easily one of the most vivid and moving memoirs I know. A terrific account of a life far removed from mine, written in a way at once perceptive, tender and detached. Remarkable.

I had to read this for a class and thought it was going to be boring. Boy was I wrong. This is a wonderful memior. Recommend this book to everyone.
