All That Remains

A funny and moving story of unlikely friendship from the internationally bestselling author of A Good Life

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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. All That Remains showcases Virginie Grimaldi's unrivalled talent for taking her readers from laughter to tears, and for writing about life with accuracy and sensitivity.
