I was drawn in by the title and expected something different to what I got.

That said. this is a moving read. A family are torn with the AIDS virus and sleeping children references the drug addled kids on the street.

The book follows the doctors who discovered the virus and those who disbelieved and everyone it affected.

A well written book, that evokes emotion and one I will not forget in a hurry..

I found this book incredibly moving. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the film Beats Per Minute or the novel The Great Believers, but it stands on its own as well. I found it really interesting to read about the impact of the AIDS crisis in France, and I thought that the author did a great job of making the story personal as well as conveying the scope of the tragedy that it was.

This started out strong, I really liked the writing and the main family. However I found the time jumps incredibly confusing. Just when I was sinking my teeth into one timeline, it jumped to another and made my head spin. I wish the plot was a little slower and jumped around less but still an important and emotional story and part of history.
