Aprašymas

A girl comes of age in Paris with her expatriate family--and struggles with sibling rivalry--in a "delightful" novel that "captures the essence of childhood" (Library Journal).

Based on the author's life with her famous father, novelist James Jones, A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries tells the story of Channe Willis, who happily lives with her parents in Paris. But when they adopt a French boy named Benoit--ending Channe's only-child status--her idyllic world is disrupted, and the relationships among this unusual family turn volatile. The basis for a Merchant Ivory film, this is a "discerning, brightly written" novel about love and loss (Library Journal).

"Although we've gotten used to second-generation actors equaling or surpassing the accomplishments of their parents, the same hasn't happened with second-generation novelists. Nonetheless there are a few . . . and added to their small number ought to be Kaylie Jones." --The New York Times

"Every page is a joy." --Sue Harrison, Self Magazine
