We Only Saw Happiness: From the author of The List of My Desires - Hardcover
'We looked like the perfect young family, something out of a magazine, in shades of marshmallow pink...'
A photograph. The father smiling beside his new car, the mother pregnant and radiant, the little girl placing cuddly toys in the cot for her new baby brother. All we see is the happiness.
'We don't see my mother. We don't see the lies.'
But behind every picture there is a story. And behind that story, there are others.
Every family has its secrets.
When Antoine was young, he believed in love at first sight. He finds the woman of his dreams, Nathalie, and has two children. But when Antoine's life implodes, he does something unspeakable.
Antoine's journey to come to terms with what he has done will take him across seas and continents, deep into his own heart and the hearts of others.
Because in order to find true happiness, you have to know where to look...

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Antoine's parents fell in love at first sight. But they quickly realised that true love means more than furtive glances. Married too young, and with three small children, Antoine's mother retreats into a world of Sagan novels and cigarette smoke, abandoning the family when Antoine's sister dies. He grows up with a distant father, his only respite the tenderness he shares with his surviving sister. Then Antoine meets Natalie, the woman of his dreams. They have two children and Antoine thrives in his work for an insurance company, investigating claims to reduce his firm's pay-outs. But soon Natalie drifts away from him, beginning an affair, and Antoine loses his job when he lets his heart overrule his head. Driven to despair, he does something unspeakable. Antoine's journey to come to terms with the terrible thing he has done will take him across seas and continents, deep into his own heart and the hearts of others, as he is forced to question what a life is really worth. Ex library. Pages lightly tanned. Some slight wear on spine. 320 pages. Seller Inventory # 1535971
