Set in a declining industrial valley in eastern France during the 1990s, this social chronicle follows fourteen-year-old Anthony over several summers. It explores themes of first love, social stagnation, and the challenges faced by youth in a deindustrialized landscape, capturing the essence of a generation growing up in the French periphery.
Nicolas Mathieu is a French novelist who has also written short fiction and children's literature. He was awarded the Prix Goncourt in 2018 for his novel Leurs enfants après eux, which follows a group of young people growing up in the aftermath of deindustrialization in northeastern France, a theme that recurs throughout his work, notably Connemara and Aux Animaux la Guerre
