Title : Are we going to be happy? - Pierrette Fleutiaux - book

Summary :

This tender and relentless novel intersects the trajectories of two teenagers. Robin is a little French boy living in New York. He desperately wants to be "normal," that is, American. Beauty is born in Miami into a family of prosperous merchants where, alas, she bears no resemblance to what one would expect of a little American girl. An awkward and secretive child, she will undergo a stunning metamorphosis. In the story of the Carel family and the Berg family, there is a "tale of two cities" side, as Dickens would say. We discover the delights and poisons of the American dream, whether in Manhattan or in the posh neighborhoods of Florida. It is the children who rush to the aid of the distraught adults, before having to face in Paris, in a new exile, the weight of what they had wanted to ignore: an environment and a past they can no longer escape.
