At a classic café in the French provinces, anonymity, chance encounters, and traumatic pasts collide against the muted background of global instability. Jean-Philippe Blondel, author of the bestselling The 6:41 to Paris, presents a moving fresco of intertwined destinies. In the span of twenty-four hours, a medley of characters retrace the fading patterns of their lives after a long disruption from Covid. A mother and son realize their vast differences, a man takes tea with a childhood friend he had once covertly fallen for, and a woman crosses paths with the ex who abandoned her in Australia. Amidst it all, the café swirls like a kaleidoscope, bringing together customers, waiters, and owners past and present. Within its walls and on its terrace, they examine the threads of their existence, laying bare their inner selves, their failed dreams, and their hopes for the uncertain future that awaits us all. 541 $d 20230724. 546 $a Translated from the French. 650 $a Coffeehouses $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Restaurants $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 651 1 $a France $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. 700 $a Anderson, Alison, $e translator. 730 $a Café sans filtre $l English. 941 $a 2 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515012011.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023911.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=37CA54686FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
