Description

At 33, Iris carries her life around in a suitcase. Theo, 18, has big dreams and aspirations. At 74, Jeanne finds herself contemplating her life in a rearview mirror.

When chance brings Iris, an enigmatic young woman; Theo, a brazen young boy, and Jeanne, a discreet lady together under the same roof, these three damaged people will have to learn to live together and face surprising situations.

This is a moving story of solitude colliding with companionship, of unexpected encounters, and of how the past bleeds into the present and our hopes for the future. Virginie Grimaldi has an unrivalled talent for taking her readers from laughter to tears, and for writing about life with accuracy and sensitivity.

Publisher Review

“In Grimaldi’s universe, it’s all about the difficulties and messiness of love and what we must be willing to do to keep it forever.” * World Literature Today *
