We've all silently wished that someone were waiting for us somewhere, even knowing that it probably won't happen. In this book, Anna Gavalda brings to life ordinary characters confronted with moments that reveal their weaknesses, hopes, and contradictions. Small everyday tragedies, fleeting encounters, silent gestures that conceal universal emotions. Awkward loves, improbable encounters, shared solitudes... small stories that touch us because they speak of us, and demonstrate that, in the most banal routines, some of life's greatest moments are hidden. With immensely delicate writing, full of subtle humor and serene melancholy, Anna Gavalda presents us with characters so real that we could cross paths with them while having coffee at the corner café or while crossing the city sitting on a subway bench.
