I fancy that I have a fairly good vocabulary. That said, The Hare with the Amber Eyes had me looking up more words than I have in a long time. And it was a splendid book! Not just challenging but well written and engaging. So much so that I made sure that Susan and I made a point of finding the Ephrussi house, just north-west of the Arc de Triomphe. An interesting expeience. Tomorrow we go to where three wars ended/started - Versailles and Compeigne - and Sunday to the Nazi/Vichy transit camp at Drancy.
