Amarilys publishes for the first time in Brazil the work of Catherine Cusset, a great success in contemporary French literature. In a thrilling mix of historical and family drama, the author tells the story of Elena, a young woman who fulfills the dream of escaping Romania’s communist dictatorship and goes to the United States. In the supposed promised land, she will become the successful Helen, a lady who has to deal with her husband’s disease, a foreign daughter-in-law (whom she rejects) and the weird bonds that, somehow, look like love. A finalist of the Goncourt Prize 2008.
