Le sel de la vie ne se trouve pas à l'épicerie
1 in stock - Almost gone!
On the surface, Diane and Hervé seem like the perfect couple: a lovely home, a daughter who’s flown the nest, a circle of loyal friends, and her own interior design shop that’s always bustling with customers. Yet, as she approaches her forty-eighth birthday, a dull routine sets in, along with the unpleasant feeling of being invisible to her husband and the world at large. But even in the 21st century, it’s not always easy to reshuffle the cards of one’s destiny without exposing oneself to the judgment of loved ones and society. Is Diane being selfish for wanting more when she already has everything… according to others? And what if, in trying to restore meaning to her own life, Diane also restores meaning to the lives of her neighbors?
En apparence, Diane forme un couple parfait avec Hervé : une jolie maison, une fille qui a pris son envol, un groupe d’amis fidèles, et elle possède sa propre boutique de décoration qui ne désemplit pas. Pourtant, alors qu’elle va bientôt avoir quarante-huit ans, s’installe un quotidien sans saveur et la désagréable impression d’être invisible aux yeux de son mari et de l’univers en général. Or, même au XXIe siècle, il n’est pas toujours évident de rebattre les cartes de son destin sans s’exposer au jugement de ses proches et de la société. Diane est-elle égoïste de vouloir plus alors qu’elle a déjà tout… d’après les autres ? Et si en voulant redonner du sens à sa vie, Diane en redonnait également aux habitants du quartier ?

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
