In this moving story, Paul Steiner finds himself on the edge of his existence, dealing with his ex-wife, his absent children, a demanding brother, and a father with extreme political inclinations. The tsunami in Japan, where he lived happy moments, aggravates his crisis. Back in his native neighborhood, he confronts his roots and a world he fled. Through meaningful encounters, he conducts a deep personal, social, and cultural analysis, seeking his place in the world. Olivier Adam intertwines the individual destiny with the portrait of a peripheral France in this impactful novel.
