The List of My Desires

A review in L'Express stated, "in a context of economic crisis, this novel touches the readers who rediscover the simple pleasures of life."

Jocelyne is a haberdasher in Arras, married to her first love, an employee of the town's Häagen-Dazs ice-cream factory.

Then, she writes the list of her desires and decides not to change a thing in her life because she doesn't want to lose her happiness.

Her life destroyed, she still continues to see her hospital-ridden father who, due to Alzheimer's disease, forgets everything every six minutes.

Eighteen months later, he decides to write an apology letter to his wife to explain the reasons for his weakness.
