In the heart of a French valley marked by industrial decline, Nicolas Mathieu weaves a moving story about adolescence and the search for identity. Through the eyes of Anthony and his friends, we witness the dreams, first love experiences, and the uncertainty that defines their future. Set in the 90s, this novel captures the essence of a generation caught between nostalgia and despair, exploring themes of class, love, and the struggle to find a place in a constantly changing world.
Winner of the prestigious Goncourt Prize in 2018, 'Leurs enfants après eux' is a literary work that resonates with the authenticity of its characters and the rawness of its environment. Mathieu invites us to reflect on the complexities of life in contemporary France, where hope and disillusionment intertwine in the destiny of its young protagonists.
