Spanning three generations, A True Life portrays bourgeoisie of 4 countries: France, Romania, Brazil and the U.S. In it, the reader will find morality play, family history, reminiscence, and love story. Authentic without giving offense, it deals gently with the real people it describes. Rich with detail, it runs the gamut from childhood to maturity of a central character, perhaps the author himself. Birth, life and death are all here, but sans the tears of remorse, and lacking in descriptions of religious faith. Pure roman-vérité, A True Life is the story of a man who lives each day as if it were his last.
