A Lyon, une trentenaire, Sophie, chômeuse en fin de droits, souvent affamée, est soucieuse d'écrire son livre. Avec fracas et drôlerie, ce roman nous entraîne dans les turpitudes de la vie d'une jeune femme qui subit son isolement, et il soulève la question de la place du chômeur dans notre société. Ce diable ne laisse rien passer aux personnages et pointe avec malice et cruauté les besoins de chacun de se fondre et de se distinguer dans la société, la famille et le travail. Facétieuse, Sophie Divry jongle avec la langue, les mots qu'elle manie avec maestria.

A delightful divertissement for the discerning bookworm...
