Title: A Scent of Cut Grass - Nicolas Delesalle - book
Summary :
The day my father arrived with his winning smile and the GTS, I sulked. But I swallowed my grimace like you hide the smell of your first cigarette from your parents. I said "yeah," I said "great," with a heavy heart, even though I understood that the GTS for the GTX was already the sixth big renunciation, after the tooth fairy, the Easter bells, Santa Claus, Mathilde, the prettiest girl in kindergarten, and my career as a professional footballer.
