'Enchanting...You can almost smell the croissants' Washington Post

'Deeply poetic... Enchanting and atmospheric, beautiful and heartfelt' Library Journal

How can you mend a broken heart? Do you write a letter to the woman who left you - and post it to an imaginary address? Buy a new watch, to reset your life? Or get rid of the jacket you wore every time you argued, because it was in some way... responsible?

Combining the wry musings of a rejected lover with playful drawings in just three colours - red, black and white - Antoine Laurain, bestselling author of The Red Notebook, and renowned street artist Le Sonneur have created a striking addition to the literature of unrequited love.

Translated by Jane Aitken.

Antoine Laurain worked as a journalist and in the world of antiques before becoming the award-winning author of ten novels, including The Red Notebook and The President's Hat. His books have been translated into 25 languages and sold more than 200,000 copies in English. He lives in Paris.
