Dear Virginie Grimaldi, Thank you for writing “Il nous restera ça.” --this sweet, funny story of three souls from the different generations and walks of life who end up living together inside a Parisian apartment. For brave Iris who keeps her sense of humor despite a terrifying ordeal with Jeremy, her controlling fiance. And for the adorable Theo, the aspiring pastry chef who has survived childhood of foster homes and heartaches to finally begin life on his own terms. And last but not least for the lovely Jeanne, recently widowed retired (Dior!) seamstress who takes them both in as roomates to help keep the home she shared for a lifetime with her beloved Pierre. Thank you for all your novels which invariably make us laugh or smirk so often, with the cultural references we can all “get” ( like when you described Iris’s burgeoning belly as capable of fitting the Kardashian family ☺️) by the end we feel like we have been catching up with close friends over coffee. For all these endearing characters who remind us to keep seeking out the best of life despite the bad times, and that we should grab hold of friends in whatever shape—or age— they come. It is no wonder that you are France’s most popular author!
