Description
The famous Michel Houellebecq, winner of many awards including the Prix Goncourt, author of world bestsellers “Atomised,” “Platform,” “The Possibility of an Island,” and “Submission,” surprised everyone by writing an intimate novel about remorse, regret, and lost love.
Florent-Claude Labrouste, 46 years old, suffers yet another collapse in his relationship with his mistress. A functionary in agricultural management and a romantic at heart, he helplessly watches the tragedy of French farmers falling apart, seeing it as his own professional failure. Disappointed and alone, he tries to cure his depression with a drug that increases serotonin levels in the blood. Serotonin is called the happiness hormone, but you have to pay for it at a high price. And the only thing that still gives meaning to Labrouste’s joyless existence is a crazy hope to get back the woman he loved and lost.
