Used book – I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere, Anna Gavalda

Adapted for TV (France 2) and Cinema.

"When I arrive at the Gare de l'Est, I always secretly hope someone will be there to meet me. It's silly. Even though I know my mother is still at work at that hour and Marc isn't the type to cross the suburbs to carry my bag, I always have that foolish hope." The characters in these twelve short stories are full of futile hopes, or deep despair. They aren't trying to change the world. Whatever happens to them, they have nothing to prove. They are not heroic. Simply human. We encounter them every day without paying attention to them, without realizing the emotional weight they carry, which is suddenly revealed by Anna Gavalda's insightful writing. Article cover may vary
