This Will Remain for Us

Published by Wasm Publishers (translated into Arabic by Rose Makhlouf), All That Remains (Il nous restera ça) by bestselling French novelist Virginie Grimaldi is an uplifting, emotional story of second chances and unexpected solidarity. The narrative brings together three deeply wounded strangers: Iris, thirty-three, fleeing her past with her life packed in a suitcase; Théo, eighteen, a disillusioned youth afraid to dream; and Jeanne, seventy-four, a lonely widow reflecting on her fading existence. When circumstance brings them under the same roof, these three distinct generations form an unlikely co-living family. Through gentle humor, empathy, and raw vulnerability, Grimaldi crafts a poignant exploration of grief, intergenerational friendship, and the enduring strength found in unexpected human connections.

It is a comforting, feel-good literary page-turner that seamlessly blends humor with emotional depth, reminding readers that kindness and human connection can heal even the deepest wounds.

Ideal for readers of modern translated French fiction, fans of feel-good and character-driven stories, and anyone seeking a heartwarming read about overcoming solitude and finding home in unexpected places.
