Ironic, feminist, deliciously surprising, an unexpected novel in which women rub the Grenoble underworld up wrong way and pull strings behind the scenes.

Years ago, Michèle married Leone Acampora, a boss of the Grenoble mafia, with whom she has two daughters who have come to terms with their rather unusual background as best they can.
Dina, in a spirit of rebellion, opts to go into humanitarian work. As for Alessia, in the pharmacy she manages, "homeopathy" is the code word for "cocaine" and "national health card" means "your life is in danger". While the mobsters of her father’s generation play poker at the retirement home, Alessia is full of ideas for modernizing the business.
