Description
A poignant and evocative novel about the struggles of youth in 1990s France. Fourteen-year-old Anthony's simple act of defiance sets off a chain of events that will shape his life for years to come. As he navigates the complexities of adolescence, he must confront the challenges of growing up in a society torn between nostalgia and decline. Over four sultry summers, Anthony and his friends try to escape their small town and find a more hopeful future. With its pitch-perfect portrayal of teenage angst, this novel shines a light on the struggles of French society today. A deeply felt and exceptional portrait of youth, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in coming-of-age stories.
