ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Can we achieve happiness if we lie to ourselves?

The author of Happy People Read and Drink Coffee is back with her most exciting, mature novel.

At almost 40 years old, Hortense notes the weight of the accumulated questions: Why do you keep giving dance lessons?. Does it make sense to continue your affair with Aymeric, a married man, or is It just a painful inertia? Is this the life that one expects from a woman of her age, without marriage or children? But above all, does it matter what other people want? If this is all a lie, maybe it's a lie she's told herself.

This whirlwind of emotions takes an unexpected twist with the arrival of lias. His mysteries and secrets make Hortense rethink the path her life has taken and the mood with which she faces it. It might be that, perhaps, she is in time to change her life, albeit by force.
