Novel (in French)

Odile Jacob – 2023

Christine, a chef and food writer, has decided that now is the time to lose weight. To do that she heads to a weight loss clinic in southern Spain, where she will meet three colorful women and one mysterious man.

As the days pass and secrets are revealed, their destinies become intertwined and events unfold, taking us into the heart of the exclusive wellness center, where we follow Christine as she explores the often hilarious details of this intimate world with its various programs and treatments.

But this closed-door setting also becomes the backdrop for the drama of human lives, with trouble and mystery brewing as each of the characters develops, depicted with both psychological acuity and a keen sensitivity, far from any conventional approach. It offers a woman’s perspective on women, female friendships, weight, relationships, professional ambition, sex and the social pressures women face.

Under the guise of a light social comedy filled with colorful characters, this book offers the reader an inspiring journey full of twists and turns.
