I wish someone were waiting for me somewhere: and, Someone I loved

In those crucial moments Gavalda demonstrates her almost magical skill in conveying love, lust, longing, and loneliness.

Someone I Lovedis a hauntingly intimate look at the intolerably painful, yet sometimes valuable consequences that adultery can have on a marriage and the individuals involved. A simple tale, yet long in substance,Someone I Lovedends like most great love affairs, forever leaving you wanting just one more moment.
