Flesh and Blood

The novel “Flesh and Blood” may seem like an ordinary story about wealth and poverty, about doomed love, and about excessive attachment to the pleasures of the world rather than the essence of what truly matters. But in fact, it carries between its lines what is further and deeper than that; it raises questions about life, death, love, and the importance of believing in God. Famous French novelist Francois Mauriac creates full characters who struggle with themselves and the search for their identities despite their different social classes, cultural backgrounds, customs, and beliefs. A novel of revelations, confessions, secrets, and a search for elusive answers.
