Title: We only saw happiness - Grégoire Delacourt - book
Summary :
Antoine, in his forties, is an insurance expert. For a long time, too long, he has been assessing and compensating for the lives of others. One night, he takes an interest in his own, wondering what it is really worth. Through uncompromising introspection, he takes us to the heart of our own humanity, a man who has never recovered from his childhood, tossed between false happiness and real tragedies.
Orchestrated in three movements, from the north of France to the west coast of Mexico , On ne voit que le bonheur also explores the land of adolescence. And shows that forgiveness and redemption remain possible despite everything.
