The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles by Katherine Pancol

The two main characters are two sisters – Joséphine Cortès is around forty. The story revolves around an extended family and their immediate friends and associates in Paris and, more particularly, its suburbs.

Of course, these themes are the basis of some good novels, many bad novels and very many really bad novels, since people started writing novels. Beware of crocodiles, both the human and animal kind. Despite this, money cannot buy happiness.Ħ. If you are not going to marry a rich man, you need to get rich some other way.ĥ. If you (a woman) are going to get married, marry a rich man and take a lover.Ĥ. Marriage is particularly bad for women.ģ. Is it chick-lit? I am not an expert on what makes chick-lit chick-lit but, I suspect, this may well be skirting the edges of chick-lit but, in its favour, it is well-written, takes somewhat of a feminist view-point and gives an interesting portrait of a sub-section of contemporary France, namely the well-off white bourgeoisie of Paris and its suburbs. It has been translated into thirty-one languages and, finally, in 2014, made it into English. This book had considerable success when it was first published in France, as did the the other novels, which were the subsequent part of the trilogy.
