The narrator of Sans Moi is a working single mother struggling to bring up her two young children. Olivia is a recovering drug addict and onetime prostitute who desperately needs a job. When Olivia—on the face of it a highly unsuitable babysitter—moves in, trailing her chaotic past behind her, their lives collide with unexpected results. In the year they live together, companionship, intimacy, and humor create a friendship full of vitality and mutual respect—as well as something of a family life. Marie Desplechin details this emotional terrain with delicate grace and irony. At once desperate and hopeful, Sans Moi explores the nature of friendship and the complicated dynamics of learning how to love and be loved.

Sans moi
I must have set some sort of record in reading this book. At the back is a little note: Started reading on 10 August 2006. I used to mark entries like this on my books, in those days when we didn’t have these fancy websites or apps for our book recording.
And now, here I am a good 14 years later finally finishing the book! Give me a pat on the back, will you?
A hit in France when it was first published, it’s a satirical, often-funny tale that speaks of the friendship between two women. Lovely. I should have loved it. But apart from certain passages that made me chuckle, and a beautiful scene toward the end, I found the narrator a bit hard to warm up to. That’s what made me glad to reach the end.
But still. I read this! Goes to show, never say never.
There will always be THAT book on your shelf that will suddenly invite yourself into your life now. This one waited patiently for 14 years. We met, lived together for a long while, and now we part. Life.
