Used book – It Takes a Long Time to Become Young, Christine Jusanx

A tender and humorous novel that invites you on a journey...

"A spry 59-year-old, newly pre-retired, seeks to share an apartment near the Eiffel Tower with a cheerful and optimistic flatmate. Ideal profile sought: foreign student or young quadragenarian in a life transition." This is the astonishing ad that the sparkling Jeanne posted to fulfill her dearest wish: to live near the Eiffel Tower.

Early retired by her employer, proud to let her son Léo – the only man in her life – fly solo, Jeanne is determined to prove that there's no age limit to living your dreams, by embarking on the adventure of flatsharing. This new life, full of surprises and wonderful encounters, could well lead her to finally allow herself to explore horizons she had previously forbidden herself.
