Four Parisians--including a starving artist, her shy and aristocratic neighbor, the neighbor's obnoxious but talented roommate, and a neglected grandmother--share unexpected twists of fate that connect them to one another. By the author of Someone I Loved. Original. 40,000 first printing.
Prize-winning author Anna Gavalda has galvanized the literary world with an exquisite genius for storytelling. Here, in her epic new novel of intimate lives-and filled with the "humanity and wit" (Marie Claire) that has made it a bestselling sensation in France-Gavalda explores the twists of fate that connect four people in Paris. Comprised of a starving artist, her shy, aristocratic neighbor, his obnoxious but talented roommate, and a neglected grandmother, this curious, damaged quartet may be hopeless apart, but together, they may just be able to face the world.
Here, in Anna Gavalda's epic and universal new novel of intimate lives Gavalda explores the unexpected twists of fate that connect four people in Paris. Camille is doing her best to disappear. She barely eats, works at night as a cleaner, and lives in a tiny attic room. Philibert Marquet de La Durbelliere is a stammering, erudite aristocratic who sells postcards outside a museum. One evening, he overcomes his own excruciating reticence to rescue Camille, unconscious, from her freezing garret, and install her in the large, ornate apartment he is taking care of downstairs. He already has an unlikely flatmate - the foulmouthed, talented young chef Franck, who is made more obnoxious by guilt about his beloved grandmother - who in turn forms an unlikely bond with his new friends. Apart, they may be hopeless, but together, this curious, damaged little quartet may be able to face the world.
