ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PARIS, PRAGUE, 1959

An action-packed plot, filled with suspense and unexpected twists, with the Cold War and a nuclear threat as backdrop.

Pierre Lemaitre returns with his saga about the Pelletier family.

As it began over ten years ago with The Great Swindle (Goncourt Prize 2013), Pierre Lemaitre's monumental project of a subjective, unquestionable, and above all enjoyable tale set in the twentieth century, which hasn't stop piling readers and praise from critics, continues with A Promising Future, an absolutely delicious story full of twists, mystery, tension, spies, and love, in the context of the Cold War.

After selling their soap factory in Beirut, the Pelletiers settle in the peaceful French countryside, where they are visited regularly by their three children and their many grandchildren. It is the year 1959, and life seems to be smiling upon the Pelletiers, even if the grim political landscape, domestic and abroad, leaves little room for optimism. But it all changes when, in the middle of the Cold War and at the height of communism, one of their children has to lead a dangerous mission in Prague, behind the Iron Curtain, from which he doesn't know if he will come out unscathed or even alive... Trapped in a city where the police, the army, snitches, and informants reign, he will have to survive the ordeal he committed to in the name of a higher moral value. This adventure will affect the family deeply and will put to the test the emotional ties between all family members and the strength of their bond.

Third installment in the family saga about the Pelletier clan, A Promising Future is a true homage to action novels, with a nuclear threat as backdrop. In it, Pierre Lemaitre offers once again an exultant portrait of a fascinating and turbulent time.
