Description

The story of an unusual friendship, this novel is also a humorous, tender homage to the pleasure of readingHis mother called him a worthless halfwit while his fellow drunks at the local bar ensure he's the butt of all their jokes.

He spends his days whittling wood, counting pigeons and adding his own name to the bottom of the list on the town war memorial.

So how could Germain possibly understand what a casual encounter on a park bench with eighty-five year old Margueritte could mean?In this touchingly comic tale of an unusual friendship, that first conversation opens a door into a world Germain could never have imagined-the world of books and ideas-and gives both him and Margueritte a chance at a happiness they thought had passed them by. Born in Bordeaux in 1957, Marie-Sabine Roger has been writing books for both adults and children since 1989.

Soft in the Head was made into a 2010 film, My Afternoons with Margueritte, directed by Jean Becker, starring Gerard Depardieu.

Get Well Soon won the Prix des lecteurs de l'Express in 2012 and will be published by Pushkin Press in 2017.
