Her favorite quote:

In my office was written a presidential program for France.

Why this book?

• Because this presidential campaign story

  concerns us all.

  And thanks to the talent of the author, the characters are alive.

  It is full of details and this book turns out to be a real

  page turner

  .

• Because Marie Tanguy has the gift of involving us in her story.

  See you in his office.

  There is a literary reportage aspect as the American writers know how to do.

• Because it's touching, sincere, frank.

  The easiness would have been to demolish what she is witnessing, to criticize.

  There, it is much more subtle.

  Each character searches for their cat, as does the author.

• Because this reading changes our outlook on politics

  .

  Parties are real small businesses.

  It is a book of general interest which should be distributed before each election.
