Elo, a 30-something Parisian, has a husband, a daughter, a caustic sense of humor and some doubts about her writing career. Bert works for a wine merchant in the South of France, is a few years older than Elo, and is in a rock band that plays local bars. Bert and Elo don’t seem to have anything in common – except, perhaps, a belief in the crucial importance of friendship, an obsession with the music of the Smiths, and a childhood filled with violence that they have completely cut themselves off from. And yet... because of something they read by chance, their past comes back to haunt them and forces them to delve into places they never expected to go.

Can anyone really break with their past and invent a new life for themselves? How do you grow up and become an adult? And can you remain true to your old ties… and above all, to yourself?
Switching back and forth between the two protagonists’ points of view, readers will get carried away by a fast-paced, funny and contemporary tale. With its modern and inventive style, you won’t be able to put this story of friendship, on-line communication and achieving adulthood down.
