Whatever happens, together we are strong! A wonderfully encouraging book by France's number one author. Jeanne, 74, has recently lost her husband and finds herself in a lonely and financially precarious situation. Iris, 33 and pregnant, has escaped a toxic relationship, hiding in Paris where she lives out of a suitcase and is searching for accommodation. Théo, 18, an apprentice pastry chef without a permanent home, has spent years in foster care, carrying memories of a troubled childhood and also urgently needs a place to stay. Burdened by financial worries, Jeanne comes up with the idea of taking in a roommate in her large Paris apartment. One becomes two, and thus an unusual shared living arrangement forms. A community of fate that soon becomes so much more: a substitute family and lifelong friends. A story that balances light-hearted entertainment with deep emotions – for empathy and comfort from the most successful French author by far. "A wonderful lesson about life." Le Parisien.
