Chez les Thomas on est très famille

In these chronicles of ordinary cruelty, Nicolle Rosen gently yet deftly pinpoints those moments in all our lives when, whatever our age, we are confronted with the anxiety of solitude, the horrors of betrayal, that unbearable emptiness that turns indifference or incomprehension into hatred. Paul and Laure come to realize that their husbands have become strangers to them. Judith discovers an inconceivable hidden side to a cherished friendship. Young Nina learns the rules of a world devastated by war. With a cold and unforgiving eye, Zoë watches her family fall apart. Jeanne and Marie both have their dreams destroyed by the Prince Charming who inspired them. Heart-wrenching stories of women in which men play an essential, yet rarely healing, role. Nicolle Rosen was a university professor before becoming a psychoanalyst and has published several essays. Chez les Thomas, on est très famille is her first literary work.
