Alain Delambre is a 57-year-old former HR executive drained by four years of hopeless unemployment. All he is offered are small, demoralizing jobs. He has reached his very lowest ebb and can see no way out. So when a major company finally invites him to an interview, Alain Delambre is ready to do anything - borrow money, shame his wife and his daughters and even participate in the ultimate recruitment test: a role-playing game that involves hostage -taking.

Sophie vive a Parigi, ha trent'anni, lavora come babysitter del piccolo Léo. Il resto della sua vita è un mistero, anche perché Sophie dimentica cosa ha fatto nel giro di poche ore e vive in un costante stato di oblio. Una sera si ferma a dormire dai suoi datori di lavoro. Il mattino dopo si ritrova sola in casa, nella cameretta il corpo di Léo, strangolato nel sonno. Inizia così la sua lunga fuga, una discesa fin negli abissi del crimine per salvarsi da un omicidio che non ha commesso ma per il quale è l'imputata perfetta. Fino a quando scoprirà cosa è davvero accaduto quella notte.

It is 1952 and the grown children of Louis Pelletier, a prominent businessman with a dark past, have settled in Paris. Jean, the menacing eldest brother, hides a terrible secret and is trapped in a stifling marriage, his days lightened only by his love for his three-year-old daughter. François, an up-and-coming reporter, is caught up in a volatile love affair. And Hélène, their younger sister, strives to make her own way as a journalist, but as a woman in a man’s world, she faces extraordinary challenges as she fights to expose a vast industrial scandal.

Pierre Lemaitre tisse avec délice une toile inextricable dans laquelle un cinquantenaire au chômage est prêt à tout pour retrouver un travail, et sa dignité. Jusqu’où est-il prêt à aller ?

"Autant prévenir tout de suite (j'espère que vous lisez ces lignes avant d'acheter...) : les amateurs de définitions maîtrisées, de monographies exhaustives, d'analyses thématiques seront déçus. C'est à un écrivain que l'éditeur a confié ce Dictionnaire amoureux, je parlerai donc ici en romancier et en lecteur. Il y aura des oublis impardonnables, des injustices criantes, des jugements contestables, c'est inévitable : c'est un dictionnaire de ce que j'aime et encore n'ai-je pas pu mettre tout ce que j'aime."
