A tender and wistfully satirical novel about the desire to change your life by bestselling French author David Foenkinos
"Foenkinos''s surreal yet relatable novel…considers life in our age of anxiety, when other people''s picture-perfect lives make our own seem drab in comparison." —Washington Post
Everyone, at some point in their lives, wants to be someone else.
Eric Kherson—40, divorced, distracted—is spiraling. He has devoted his life to a successful career as the marketing director of a leading sports brand. But when family disaster rocks him to his core, he finds himself adrift from his family and questioning all his choices.
That is, until an acquaintance from his schooldays offers him a high-powered government position. Desperate for escape, he throws himself into her enigmatic world of high-risk deals and endless networking, doing anything it takes to get a contract signed.
But on a business trip to Seoul, Eric starts feeling worse than ever. Wandering the city''s streets, he comes across Happy Life, a store that offers its customers something that could change their lives: a fake funeral. Happy Life will write your eulogy, arrange the flowers, and allow you to lie inside your own coffin. Why? They believe the experience will help you reinvent yourself.
But above all for Eric, Happy Life sparks a business venture of his own that might do just that…
A celebrated French bestseller, Happy Life is a life-affirming story of hope and recovery, perfect for fans of Matt Haig and Nathan Hill.
