Paradise

Lorenzo has a dream. Thanks to an inheritance, he finally has the chance to make it come true. He is a veterinarian and intends to build a unique nature reserve for wild animals—one that hasn’t existed in Europe yet. But not everyone supports him, believing his plan is an utopia. To make matters worse, the woman Lorenzo thought was the love of his life—though she agrees to support his enterprise—announces that soon she will become someone else’s wife. Well, Lorenzo has always been strong. He knows he can handle everything, even if it hurts him badly.

— Editor’s review: Just think—an untamed savanna in the heart of France. The opening of Françoise Burden’s new novel feels like an exquisite fantasy—I was instantly won over. Meanwhile, the book turned out to be truly full of surprises. This is a story about the fight for a cherished idea and a lifelong attachment. But most of all, it’s about this: any of our dreams, even the most eccentric, will surely come true if we fight for it.
