The House I Loved

I just finished The House I Loved by Tatiana de Rosnay.  I read Rosnay's first book Sarah's Key awhile back and loved it.  This book had a little bit of the same writing style, but I wasn't as drawn to the main character.  I kind of felt that she was a little selfish. 
During the story is is writing letters to her dead husband about the government wanting to tear down their house to make room for the new Paris.  Some of the letters were interesting, but I was a little bored with others.  There was a little twist at the end, but not as big as the one in Sarah's Key.  At the end of the book I did sympathize a little more with the main character, Rose. 
This book was interesting, but not nearly as good as her first book.  If you love historical fiction and books about Paris, this would be a good book for you.

I have another book from the library by Rosnay, but I'm trying to decide if I will read it, or start something else.
