“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.”
“Gavalda's comically implausible and comfortably predictable novel of misfits is a Gallic charmer anchored by breezy and poignant storytelling.” —Publishers Weekly
