A two-voice novel that gently calls couples into question when their paths diverge.

Éliane and Vincent have been together for thirteen years and have two young children. When their relationship begins to falter, they realize habit is the only thing keeping them together; they’ve been living parallel lives for quite some time. The flame is out, and they keep brushing the uncomfortable questions under the rug. But these become harder to ignore for Vincent once he meets Aurélie, a younger, more interesting—and interested—colleague. Despite a rational streak, he can’t deny his attraction for her.
Meanwhile, Éliane is wrestling with doubts about her professional life and worried about her mother, who is experiencing major health concerns. Between medication, yoga class and therapy sessions, Éliane seems to be losing the struggle to stay on top of things.

BENOIT PICARD is a passionate traveler. His writing is filled with humour, and he relies on his own experiences to tell heartwarming stories of love and self-discovery.
