"Splendidly written: cynical, gemlike, unexpected. A true delight to read." Marie-France

Stéphane Billon lives with Florence. After eight years of together, Florence wants a child. Exam results reveal Stéphane is sterile. So Florence decides to stay with Stéphane but have a child with Patrick, her lifelong homosexual friend. With this odd menage, Claude Habib turns readers into voyeurs fascinated by the relationships that settle into bitterness among the heroes, or rather, the anti-heroes of this story. The story of an era where efficiency and profitability have devoured our souls.
