Writing
In 1971, a young woman moves from the French countryside to Paris and begins a passionate love affair with a feminist leader.
A chronicle of the unconditional love between a mother and her daughter, from 1958 to the present day, which is endangered by an unsteady and manipulative father.
At the start, Christine Blanc is a temp, her boyfriend has gone. Near the story's end, she's been offered a steady job, she has a fiancé, other men seem interested in her, she's passed her driving test, and, after she wins 1000 Euros in a scratch-off, her colleagues sing that she's a jolly good fellow ("one of us"). But something's askew: her gaze is too direct, her eyes open too widely; conversational gambits hit odd notes; she parrots others' words; she cooks too much food when she invites a supervisor to dinner. When the supervisor takes Christine on a spontaneous outing that disorients her, her oddities become something else. Can things ever be normal?

Three young mothers meet each other on a playground with their children.
The story starts where the tale ends: Snow White wakes up to the age of sexuality and discovers a world where the dwarves have become tall, and her Prince Charming is deprived of charisma. And, most terrible of all, her mother is incomparably more sexy.
A young, enthusiastic girl named Ondine walks into an art bookstore, asking if she can do her school internship there. She isn’t very lucky, though: the bookseller is a grumpy, brusque woman who puts her to the test with a customer while spouting her disillusioned rants about the death of art and culture. Will Ondine manage to convince the woman to take her on for the internship?
