One afternoon during a heatwave in a desolate valley somewhere in eastern France, with its dormant blast furnaces and its lake, fourteen-year-old Anthony and his cousin decide to steal a canoe to explore the famous nude beach across the water. The trip ultimately takes Anthony to his first love and a summer that will determine everything that happens afterward. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nicolas Mathieu conjures up a valley, an era, and the political journey of a young generation that has to forge its own path in a dying world. Four summers and four defining moments, from \"Smells Like Teen Spirit\" to the 1998 World Cup, encapsulate the hectic lives of the inhabitants of a France far removed from the centers of globalization, torn between decency and rage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Mathieu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1892746778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781892746771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/17\/2020 pg. 1","brand":"Nicolas Mathieu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988050018559,"sku":"9781892746771","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95178287-9dbb-4976-81f0-56ec741a371a.jpg?v=1683292336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-their-children-after-them-nicolas-mathieu-9781892746771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
