Auguste Palanquin was born under a bad star. In addition to losing his grandfather and father in tragic circumstances, two of his toes were severed by a tombstone. Not to mention that he has more and more meetings without a future. However, fate seems to change when he meets a charming real estate agent. Thus begins a second story, that of Eva Coppa, who reluctantly sells houses in order to better take care of her ungrateful teenager. This leads us to Rachel, who faces a burglar in her living room, then to Zélie, required to participate in a children’s party with her twenty-month-old brother. In To our imperfect lives, Véronique Ovaldé concocts eight short stories, eight imperfect lives which come, go and respond to each other in the long, undisturbed river of existence. With her mischievous and corrosive pen, the French writer combs contemporary society to concoct a handful of absolutely delicious characters, who carry within them the keys to a universe as bewitching as it is cathartic. A pure delight.
