'The Thief of Saint-Lubin' is the story of a young woman who is a single mother of two daughters. With her part-time job, she barely makes ends meet and, in a moment of blackout, commits a theft. The screenplay of this much-discussed film in France is suitable for anyone looking for a linguistically simpler French reading with contemporary themes. Unabridged and unedited text edition in the original language, with translations of difficult words at the bottom of each page, a postscript, and literary references.
