About this product
Product Information
New York Times Bestselling and Goncourt Prize-Winning Author of The Anomaly A prominent French writer delves into his own history in this eloquent reflection on dysfunctional family relationships. Hervé Le Tellier did not consider himself to have been an unhappy child--he was not deprived, or beaten, or abused. And yet he understood from a young age that something was wrong, and longed to leave. Children sometimes have only the option of escaping, driven by their even greater love of life. Having reached a certain emotional distance at sixty years old, and with his father and stepfather dead and his mother suffering from late-stage Alzheimer's disease, Le Tellier finally felt able to write the story of his family. Abandoned early by his father and raised in part by his grandparents, he was profoundly affected by his relationship with his mother, a troubled woman with damaging views on love. In this perceptive, deeply personal account, Le Tellier attempts to look back on trying times without anger or regret, and sometimes even with humor.

Reviews
"Moving...The writing is unquestionably sincere." -- Kirkus Reviews " All Happy Families pulls apart the fabric of a dysfunctional family to show its underpinnings, complex and heartbreaking, delicate and nuanced...Le Tellier's masterful writing does his characters justice while not letting them go unscathed, and his ability to see his life and his family with tenderness and love is a blueprint for how we can continue in the face of our pasts. A tender and moving read, its stories stayed with me long after the last page." --Tanya Marquardt, author of Stray: Memoir of a Runaway Praise for Eléctrico W : "An engaging snapshot of these [characters'] briefly intersecting lives." -- New York Times Book Review "Romantic and atmospheric, this novel also benefits from a particularly fine sense of place and time...witty, sad, and interesting." -- Publishers Weekly "Delicate handling of deep themes--loss, missed connections, meaninglessness--gives the novel an emotional charge." --Kirkus Reviews, "Acutely observed...An unexpected coming-of-age tale." --BBC "Moving...The writing is unquestionably sincere." -- Kirkus Reviews "What distinguishes Le Tellier's memoir from the glut of family memoirs that have captivated and horrified readers over the last twenty years? In part, it's the author's plastic imagination: his willingness to let language loose on the discoveries he's made about the family...he brings warmth and intelligibility to cold, lost lives." -- Kenyon Review "A harrowing...and searingly honest reflection on family dysfunction." -- France Today " All Happy Families pulls apart the fabric of a dysfunctional family to show its underpinnings, complex and heartbreaking, delicate and nuanced...Le Tellier's masterful writing does his characters justice while not letting them go unscathed, and his ability to see his life and his family with tenderness and love is a blueprint for how we can continue in the face of our pasts.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
