Philadelphie. Au premier jour du printemps 2010, Agatha sort de prison, mais pas par la grande porte. Après trente ans derrière les barreaux, il ne lui restait que quelques années à faire. Alors pourquoi cette évasion ? Show Dans une station-service proche du campus, elle s’invite à bord de la voiture de Milly et l’entraîne dans sa cavale sans rien lui révéler de sa situation. Dotée d’un irrésistible appétit de vivre, Agatha fait voler en éclats la routine confortable de Milly. Vingt ans les séparent, mais au fil du voyage les deux femmes partagent ces rêves qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour réaliser et évoquent ces amours qui ne s’éteignent pas. Cinq jours en voiture à travers les États-Unis… À chaque étape, une rencontre avec un personnage surgi du passé les rapprochera du secret d’Agatha. Jusqu’où devons-nous aller dans notre quête insatiable du bonheur ? À quoi ne faut-il jamais renoncer ? Dans ce roman, Marc Levy réaffirme notre besoin inconditionnel de liberté et nous fait aussi découvrir un pan méconnu de l’histoire américaine.

books... And now in two or three days, this book became one of my Marc Levy Favorites! There is more than just fiction: the book could almost be considered historical fiction: it tells the story and ambiance of the lives of the young idealistic minded Americans who, under the repression of the times of Nixon and Vietnam, fought against racism and poverty - sometimes in the wrong way, using violence, but for many this was a peaceful endeavor to turn the world into a better place.

English title: another idea of happiness
4.0/5 I feel satisfied and totally happy after reading this book. Marc levy's writing style is attractive as usual. I was hypnotized by the plots which are slow but not boring at all. I have been chewing and digesting this book. the twist was not a big surprise but it was emotional. A book i need while waiting for my essay correction. Thrilling and full of love. It have a fine vintage vibe.

correction. Thrilling and full of love. It have a fine vintage vibe. It was also soft and thoughtful to read. We all knew the incident of racism happened in the US and many events after that is happening right now. It was mentioned in this book as well, and was an important detail. Therefore, i kind of understand what is occurring in the US at this moment. I have to say it was a good timing to read this book and i am thankful to decide to read it. Một cuốn sách về cuộc phiêu lưu
tưởng như trùng hợp của 2 người phụ nữ cách biệt 2 thế hệ. Trong cuộc hành trình dọc khắp đất nước kéo dài 5 ngày, họ dần hiểu nhau cũng như nhận ra ý niệm thực sự của hạnh phúc. Marc Levy làm tôi ngạc nhiên khi biết về lịch sử của nước Mỹ và tường thuật lại những sự kiện lịch sử khô khan 1 cách sống động. Cuốn sách thu hút đến từng chi tiết, làm người đọc hồi hộp khi không thể doán trc được kết cục sẽ ra sao. Tôi từng được hỏi chọn 1 cuốn sách bạn muốn chuyển thể thành phim,
và tôi đã chọn "Một s niệm khác về hạnh phúc". 1 hành trình thú vị, một chặng đường gây cấn. Sau khi đọc xong cuốn sách, hy vọng bạn có thể tìm thấy ý niệm hạnh phúc của riêng mình.

It would be gorgeous if the writer lets that flight of emotions land rather than leaves it on the dreamlike sky. On the whole, I fall in love with this journey.

Oct 07, 2018 Joerund Hage rated it it was amazing What a story! I hesitated a long time before I started on this book as I feared it might be a take-off on the Thelma
and Louise genre. However, after a few pages, I could not put it down. Levy does his research well, and combines this in a fast-paced road story with an incredibly suspense-filled plot. A chance encounter at a Philadelphia gas station turns into a race across several states, with a US marshal in hot pursuit. - But what is chance and what is deliberate? And who is who?

Jul 20, 2019 Barbara rated it liked it A story you can t let go, I can imagine a movie on this sentimental roadtrip
teinted with nostagia and a flash back in time in American life .
2.5 stars. This was one of those Marc Levy books where the story is just not believable enough. I didn't believe
in Agatha's motivations, and I thought Milly's responses were completely out of character for the person we were introduced to at the start of the book. Agatha also seemed to take most of 21st century life in her stride and to have very few questions about the world (apart from brief conversations at the beginning and end about GPS and mobile phones).

A nice book is worth reading thousand times.
An emotional, thrilling love journey brings readers to many tones of emotion. Angry, misunderstood, deep feeling and extraordinarily surprised are what you feels throughout the journey. Otherwise, the novel will help us to answer the question that what really is the meaning of "happiness"?. An emotional, thrilling love journey brings readers to many tones of emotion.

I read this book a while back and loved it. Though I read it in a different language.
Verry slow start (which was necessary tho). After ½ of the book it gets interesting and at times hard to lay down. And in the end I was even a bit touched…
Aug 22, 2022 Carla Kowanda rated it really liked it Nice novel for people studying French as a foreign language. Slow-paced, melancholic style.
I'm sooooo in love with the idea of this book. A Beat Generation sitting next to a Millennial, crossing the country just like Sal Paradise did in On the Road - I can't help but being
so awestruck by just how the the plot goes. As I've always assumed that Marc Levy's works are another type of cheesy romantic books which I would never touch, this one hit me hard with the uniqueness of characters and the delicate interlace of the stories. I can feel clearly the burning flame inside of Agatha as she As I've always assumed that Marc Levy's works are another type of cheesy romantic books which I would never touch, this one hit me hard with the uniqueness of characters and the delicate interlace of the stories. I can feel clearly the burning flame inside of Agatha as she explained to Milly how things used to be and how she as a rebellious adolescent has tried to change the ugly world she once
lived in. That flame got to me, all I want to do now is to read more about the racism, the misogyny and the unfairness which she once fought so hard against and the remaining of these toxic ideals in order to do the same thing one day. Not really my thing, but still an amazing work.

eighteen, he joined the Red Cross, where he spent the next six years. In 1983, he created a computer graphics company based in France and the United States.
