Om denne bog

''[A] page-turner of a novel . . . I couldn''t put the book down'' - New York Times

''A multi-viewpoint panorama of thwarted aspirations, spiced with breathy sex scenes and nostalgic detail
.'' - Mail on Sunday

August 1992. Fourteen-year-old Anthony and his cousin decide to steal a canoe to fight their all-consuming boredom on a lazy summer afternoon. Their simple act of defiance will lead to Anthony''s first love and his first real summer - that one summer that comes to define everything that follows.

Over four sultry summers in the 1990s, Anthony and his friends grow up in a France trapped between nostalgia and decline, decency and rage, desperate to escape their small town, the scarred countryside and grey council estates, in search of a more hopeful future.

Nicolas Mathieu''s eloquent novel gives a pitch-perfect depiction of teenage angst. Winner of the Prix Goncourt, it won praise for its portrayal of people living on the margins and shines a light on the struggles of French society today.

''Deeply felt . . . An exceptional portrait of youth'' - Irish Times
