SuitabookLe lac des cygnes
Françoise Boublil
- Reading
- Try reading together a little at a time, pausing to talk about the period setting or any unfamiliar social customs if they come up.
- Themes
- Family origins: Loulou knows her parents’ identities and hopes to learn more about her origins by taking a household job at a reception. The search for family knowledge is part of the plot; its emotional or moral framing is not clear.
- Dance and ambition: Loulou’s natural talent for dance is discovered at boarding school; her mother is described as a talented French Cancan dancer. Dance is a clear part of the story, but the book’s view of ambition or performance is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Loulou’s early life involves being raised away from her parents and later sent to boarding school. The emotional weight of these circumstances is not clear.
