Grenier's Cine-Roman

This is the story of a family and a small town in France, built around the ownership and operation of a small movie theatre. I hate it that I can't avoid the cliche, but this novel is cinematic, and in that sense, I suppose, it's a success. I was mildly interested, it was well structured, it was an easy if not a thrilling read. There's a coming of age novel in there too.
