500    "Originally published in French as Toutes les familles 
       heureuses in 2017 by Éditions Jean-Claude Lattès, Paris." 
520    "A prominent French writer delves into his own history in 
       this eloquent reflection on dysfunctional family 
       relationships. Herve Le Tellier did not consider himself 
       to have been an unhappy child--he was not deprived, or 
       beaten, or abused. And yet he understood from a young age 
       that something was wrong, and longed to leave. Children 
       sometimes have only the option of escaping, and owe to 
       that escape their even greater love of life. Having 
       reached a certain emotional distance at sixty years old, 
       and with his father and stepfather dead and his mother 
       suffering from late-stage Alzheimer's disease, Le Tellier 
       finally felt able to write the story of his family. 
       Abandoned early by his father and raised in part by his 
       grandparents, he was profoundly affected by his 
       relationship with his mother, a troubled woman with 
       damaging views on love. In this perceptive, deeply 
       personal account, Le Tellier attempts to look back on 
       trying times in his life without anger or regret, and even
       with humor"--|cProvided by publisher.
