Description

"Sans Moi is the resonant story of two Parisian women: the narrator, a single mother and commercial writer struggling to bring up her two young children, and Olivia, a recovering drug addict and onetime prostitute who loves children and desperately needs a job. When Olivia - on the face of it a highly unsuitable babysitter - moves in, trailing her chaotic past with behind her, their lives collide with unexpected results.". "But life isn't just a question of the past, and people aren't simply products of their worst experiences. Confronted by the challenges of loneliness and change, the narrator realizes that Olivia has as much to give as she has needs of her own. In the year they live together, companionship, intimacy, and humor create a friendship full of vitality and mutual respect - as well as something of a family life."--BOOK JACKET.
