Pere #Goriot by Honore de Balzac is impossible to put down: emotional, cruel, funny, and painfully human. #Balzac is a master storyteller, a sharp psychologist, and a writer with a wonderful sense of humor.

This is a novel about a father’s love so strong it becomes destructive — proving that even the best intentions can ruin both your life and the lives of those you love most.
