An Oddball Family That Can’t Connect In ‘How To Behave In A Crowd’

An Oddball Family That Can’t Connect In ‘How To Behave In A Crowd’

August 26, 2017 By Patrick Leave a Comment

There is an oddball family that cannot connect in a novel called How to Behave in a Crowd. Writers are big fans of oddballs and outsiders. This story is a great representation of that idea. The narrator of the story is a pre adolescent person and is the youngest of six siblings. They are growing up in a small French village. The narrator is the odd man out because he is the normal one in the group.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn how to behave when the room is full of crowds. Crowded people can be a hassle and introduce some challenges for modern readers.
  • The author is smart and witty throughout the course of the book. Each character has an interesting personality that needs to be evaluated.
  • Join the discussion and contribute to the ongoing events that get underway. The title book will help people find unique new family elements to explore.

“Bordas keeps things mostly light, though the novel is underpinned by serious concerns about balancing critical thought with feeling, and it earns the moving scenes it builds to.”
