Review

“Thierry Cohen offers, in a style both fluid and poignant, an original lesson on the fragility of human experience, on the painful choices we must make regarding the mysteries of life on Earth and beyond. The story is told with gripping suspense that keeps you reading.” – Tatiana de Rosnay, author of Sarah’s Key

About the Author

Born in Casablanca, Morocco, Thierry Cohen moved to France at the age of two, as part of a family with five children. After a dramatic childhood, he found comfort in reading books—particularly the works of Americans such as John Fante, Ernest Hemingway, and Philip Roth—and eventually became a writer himself. He penned Still with Me following the suicide of his best friend, in hopes of healing his own pain and helping others who may be considering suicide. Today, Cohen lives in Lyon with his wife and four children.
