A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

POMPIDOU POSSE is a heart-warming, touching and painfully funny book. It is a triumph of a debut novel and hopefully the first of many from this awesome new writer. (Something Wicked)

Sets a high standard - and not only for debut novels. It is funny, scary, thrilling, and wild. (Brainwavez)

A harrowing, yet darkly comedic, yarn that grabs you immediately and never lets go. (iAfrica)

Honest, spiky and very, very real, POMPIDOU POSSE will - like its characters - stay with you for a very long time. (Maggie Harcourt, author of THE LAST SUMMER OF US)

Vivid, dark and absorbing, Sarah Lotz is a fiction powerhouse. (Sarah Pinborough, author of THE DEATH HOUSE)

With Pompidou Posse, Sarah Lotz has accomplished a tremendous feat--she has managed to craft a novel that is both uproariously funny and also heartbreakingly honest. An absolute must read. (Jasmine Warga, author of MY HEART AND OTHER BLACK HOLES)

Book of the Week. This thrilling read sees teen besties Vicki and Sage fleep to Paris after accidentally setting fire to a shed on their school grounds. But life on the streets of the city of love isn't quite what they expected - and nor is their friendship - as they do everything they can to survive. (New Magazine)

POMPIDOU POSSE is an exquisitely written story about a friendship on the edge. At turns, hilarious, heartwarming and shocking, Sarah Lotz brings to vivid life the gritty underbelly of Paris with such wit and empathy, you feel as if you have walked the streets alongside her. She is a writer at the top of her game, or any game (Kim Curran, author of GLAZE)

A raw, honest, and ultimately heart-breaking novel, for anyone who ever wondered what it was like to be down and out in Paris when you're young and vulnerable. It's devastatingly good. (Lavie Tidhar, author of A MAN LIES DREAMING)

Quatrième de couverture :

THERE ARE TWO TRUTHS IN LIFE:

When best friends Sage and Vicki accidentally burn down a shed at their school, the choice is clear: either they get thrown out and have to work forever in a sandwich shop... or they run away to Paris.

PARIS IS ETERNAL

Life in Paris isn't quite as romantic as they'd hoped. It's hard to find work when you're only seventeen, and before long the two are couch-surfing and fire-eating to get by.

AND FRIENDSHIP IS FOREVER

But as long as Vicki and Sage have each other, they can survive anything...
Can't they?

EXCEPT WHEN IT'S NOT.

Pompidou Posse is the hilarious, heartbreaking story of love, friendship, art and growing up by the acclaimed author Sarah Lotz.
