"Thirty-two-year-old Simon Taieb learned of the death of his friend Franck while standing in the kitchen." Thus begins the hero's journey through the corridors of time, where the ghosts of childhood, with its wars, joys, scars, and its eternal loyalty, loom around every turn. Thus ends twenty years of a very strange, tangled relationship between three completely incompatible people: Simon, Franck, and Clarisse, who was dear to them both.

Masterfully shifting from past to present, shuffling the cards dealt to the characters differently by fate, relying on sparse and very precise, recognizable details, Quentin Charrier gives voice to the "tongue-in-cheek" generation of thirty-year-olds who are unable to express their feelings, who are utterly ashamed of romance and pathos, who have failed to grow up and settle down, but who have forgotten their childhood dreams... And these dreams prove remarkably resilient. Quentin Charrier is almost the same age as his heroes; this is his first novel, unanimously praised by critics and readers for its masterful construction, stylistic rigor, and unerringly striking the nerve of the times.
