(1) YA In the early 1940s, Marie-Claire's uncle, then her siblings, and finally Marie-Claire herself contract TB. Over the course of two and a half years Marie-Claire grows up in ways that are both particular to her sanatorium environment and universal to adolescence. Much like a play in its discrete, focused scenes, this novel is that rarest of birds, a happily ending, nonsappy YA romance.
