Used book – I Loved Her, Anna Gavalda

"We compromise, we make do, we have our little cowardice underfoot like a pet. We caress it, we train it, we grow fond of it. That's life. There are the brave and then there are those who just go along. It's so much less tiring to just go along..." Does one have the right to leave everything, wife and children, simply because one realizes - a little late - that one may have made a mistake? Adrien left. Chloé and their two daughters are in shock. Adrien's father offers the young woman comfort. In his own way: rather than condemning his son, he seems to admire him. His act is selfish, yes, but courageous. He himself wasn't capable of it. Throughout an emotional confession, he tells his daughter-in-law how, in the past, by cowardly trying to preserve his own life, he ruined everything.
