Since its initial publication in France, Still with Me has been published in 15 countries. The book won France’s Grand Prix Jean d’Ormesson in 2007.Jeremy takes his life on his twentieth birthday after childhood friend Victoria rejects his love. On his twenty-first birthday, he wakes up. Victoria is at his side, blissfully in love with him. While Jeremy can’t remember the previous year, he savors the miracle of waking up alongside the woman he loves. The next time he wakes, another year has passed and he finds himself a spectator of his own life. Victoria now carries his child, but the man alongside her is a disturbingly different person—a cruel, egotistical, seemingly unknowable Jeremy. Is it amnesia? Insanity? Or has the God Jeremy defied with his selfish act now cursed him? This strange and beautiful novel tells the tale of a man lost between life and death, but connected by the love—as friend, lover, son, and father—given and taken over the course of a lifetime, a love that simply won’t let go.Review“Thierry Cohen offers, in a style both fluid and poignant, an original lesson on the fragility of human experience, on the painful choices we must make regarding the mysteries of life on Earth and beyond. The story is told with gripping suspense that keeps you reading.” – Tatiana de Rosnay, author of Sarah’s KeyAbout the AuthorBorn in Casablanca, Morocco, Thierry Cohen moved to France at the age of two, as part of a family with five children. After a dramatic childhood, he found comfort in reading books—particularly the works of Americans such as John Fante, Ernest Hemingway, and Philip Roth—and eventually became a writer himself. He penned Still with Me following the suicide of his best friend, in hopes of healing his own pain and helping others who may be considering suicide. Today, Cohen lives in Lyon with his wife and four children.
