Is it a good idea to go on a Cruise Ship to clear your mind?

The answer to Mr. and Mrs. Rivaz’ question brings a short-circuit to the narrator’s life. Around her, the world stays complicated. A lover finds himself at the hospital; work is a mess; friends have enough and leave her. It’s triste. But on the bright side, Hermine and Juste Rivaz are reflecting on their lives, and see that kindness is also a possibility.

Catherine Lovey studied economy and criminology. Her books observe with a lot of humor, but bluntly the spectrum of our society.  After Un roman russe et drôle, greeted by the critics and translated into Russian, Monsieur et Madame Rivaz brings to life a heroine with a spirit of Don Quichotte. A great contemporary roman; carrying a strong, but refreshingly rage. Cathrine Lovey already came to Hong Kong in 2007 to present her first roman, L’homme interdit, for which she received the Foundation Schiller Price.

A cocktail provided by the Consulate General of Switzerland after the book reading will be offered.

The event will be conducted in French and no translation to other languages will be provided.
