Set on the French Atlantic coast, Our Happy Days is a warm, vivid holiday novel about friendship, romance and the memories of our youth

A vivid tale of love and friendship, coincidence and fate, guilt and betrayal-and the memories of a summer that changed things forever.

Lenica, Marie, Fanny and Elsa spend their summers together on the Atlantic coast in France. The four of them are bound together, their friendship forged in sun-soaked days and wine-filled nights, giddy with happiness and youth.

Decades later, when three of the friends meet again, they realise that their bond has never been broken. Although older, they still carry with them everything that happened years ago-especially the summer that Lenica brought Sean along.

Our Happy Days is a novel about the most important things in life-and reminds us that we only remember the past as we want it to be.
