Book Review: The List of my Desires by Gregoire Delacourt

The List of my Desires by Gregoire Delacourt, translated by Anthea Bell, published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

In the vein of The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, The List of my Desires gives the reader an insight into the mind and emotions of a seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman in France.

Facing the empty-nest syndrome and questioning if this really is all there is to her life, Jocelyne starts to list her desires.


Then one day she wins the lottery and begins to question what it is she really wants from life...

Delightful and charming.
