What you need to know before your trail

At 33, Iris carries her life around in a suitcase. Théo, 18, has big dreams and aspirations. At 74, Jeanne finds herself contemplating her life in a rearview mirror.

When chance brings Iris, an enigmatic young woman; Théo, a brazen young boy, and Jeanne, a discreet lady together under the same roof, these three damaged people will have to learn to live together and face surprising situations.

This is a moving story of solitude colliding with companionship, of unexpected encounters, and of how the past bleeds into the present and our hopes for the future. Virginie Grimaldi has an unrivalled talent for taking her readers from laughter to tears, and for writing about life with accuracy and sensitivity.

Travel Guide

Paris

Clearly set in Paris, there are not many locations in the book as this is a character driven novel. It is a story that could and does take place anywhere around the world. But the author is French and this has a distinct French feel

Some nice mentions of the Paris suburbs which is a refreshing change.
