About the product Jean-Baptiste Del Amo at the age of 36 has already become a laureate of most of the main French awards: he won the Goncourt Prize for his debut novel, the Mauriac, Feneon, Laurent Bonelli and Sade prizes, as well as the Inter-Books Prize. He also became a laureate of the Villa Medici. This is a rare example when both critics and readers are delighted with the author. Annotation If each family member has a thousand reasons to hate each other, and, it seems, not a single one to love, an ordinary dinner turns into an ancient tragedy. And we no longer see a mother with three grown children sitting at the table — the picture changes: painful memories, deep resentments, stifled rage, regrets, ugly mental scars, unwillingness to forgive appear before us. The burden of the past is so heavy that it can crush the future. Before us is a portrait of a family, disfigured by perishable love and the omnipotence of death.
