My Father's Glory and My Mother's Castle, by Marcel Pagnol

It is the second book of Marcel Pagnol I read. Again, a very delightful reading. I hope to read more of his works, but he did not write a lot -- two more novels to enjoy. Thanks to library's Link+ service that I can request the books.

What a happy and warm memory, but the last two chapters made me so sad, so sad. A chill shivering through my body.

This is what you pay for happiness.

I will be touched more if I read the book 20 or 25 years ago. Nowadays, my heart is coated.

I am thinking to collect Pagnol's works.

Translated by Rita Barisse. A good translation. Published by North Point Press, San Francisco, 1986. ISBN 0865472572.
