Violette lead a fulfilling life in peaceful cohabitation with her guinea pig, her 5000 piece jigsaw puzzles, her collection spinning-tops and with the esteem of her bosses…until the dry cleaners that employed her had to shut down.

Her sister uses the occasion to invite her to meet her new fiancé. Violette unenthusiastically accepts.

When she arrives at the beachside hotel that her new brother-in-law’s family owns, she has anything but ordinary encounters. Violette, a woman who has always been a bit insecure, very ordinary, and somewhat isolated, is going to open herself up to others and the world. The people around her help her to change and find happiness in such unexpected ways.

Martine Gengoux runs writing workshops. Pas simple de s’appeler Violette avec un profil de baobab is her first novel
