Used book – La vie qui m'attendait, Julien Sandrel

Romane, thirty-nine, is a doctor AND a hypochondriac. Her monotonous life takes a turn when one of her patients tells her she saw her leaving a pulmonologist's office in Marseille in tears. Yet Romane is in perfect health and has never set foot in that city.

Troubled by the feeling that this mystery answers the emptiness she has always felt, Romane decides to go looking for this other woman who resembles her so much.

Her investigation leads her to Juliette, a bookseller in Avignon. When the two women meet, it becomes clear: they are twins. How is it possible that each was unaware of the other's existence? What secrets do their respective families hide?

As they journey towards the truth, the two sisters embark on an astonishing voyage of laughter and pain... After "The Book of Wonders," a worldwide phenomenon translated into 26 languages and currently being adapted for cinema, Julien Sandrel delivers a second moving and luminous novel about the pursuit of happiness and the courage to reinvent one's life.

A beautiful, troubling, and tender story, devoured in one sitting. Elle.

A delightful plot, rich in emotions, about the strength of family ties. Le Parisien Week-End.
