The irresistibly clever trials and tribulations of a biblio-therapist.*

A subject for our time: How to find happiness through books.

A book that sparkles with wit!

Alex has chosen an uncommon profession: biblio-therapist. He tries to cure his patients’ ills with literature. The patients include Yann, a handicapped teen who gets bullied at school and who refuses to open up to the world, and the cynical Robert Chapman – crushed by his job, he has forgotten how to talk to his wife.

While Alex is a skilled practitioner, even he has to admit that his own private life leaves much to be desired… Can fiction help the biblio-therapist help himself? Is the key to happiness to be found between the lines of the books he so loves?

Michaël Uras’ light and lively style draws us into an invigoratingly up-to-date tale that pays tribute to words – both other people’s and those we set to our own inner songs.
