Recensioner i media

"Profoundly moving and expertly told, Happy People confronts life's most nightmarish tragedy with an unblinking examination. Diane's journey to find meaning again is at once charming and heartbreaking, and I found myself pulling for her to seek out her next experience of love. The wisdom and magic in these pages will linger long after the book is closed." -- #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs "Martin-Lugand's sparse but emotionally forceful style, aided by Smith's translation from the original French, catches the sweeter moments between two people embittered by loss." -- Kirkus "A heartbreaking story of love and loss that will twist readers up in knots... Essential for any foreign literature or women's fiction collection." --Library Journal "The energy that Agnes Martin-Lugand is able to convey with this storm is enormous. This is one roller-coaster of a book, but I loved every moment of it... Anyone who has ever experienced a feeling of any kind, ever, will enjoy this novel." -- San Francisco Book Review "This is a powerful story of love and loss and how life moves forward often of its own accord. Both tearful and uplifting this is an exquisite story of re-growth and renewal after tragedy." -- Blogcritics.org
