With her bouncing gait, red boxing gloves, curiosity and sharp sense of humor, there's no doubt that Anne Roumanoff is ready for battle, and has no intention of cutting corners. As an experienced woman, she can't help but be surprised and amused, sometimes even a little dismayed, by the major transformations in our society that she observes. New language, new behaviours, new professions, from automatic supermarket checkouts to self-help books, from increasingly unstable and disposable love relationships to narcissism elevated to the rank of a new religion, everything is a subject for her to decipher, as lucid as it is funny. And while she never judges and always tries to understand, she never forgets to poke tender fun at our little foibles, our delirious wanderings and these fashions, each more surprising than the last. Thus, as an uncompromising witness to our times, and with her writing as fine and accurate as ever, between highs and lows, personal confidences and reflections on the world around her, she can freely take stock of her experience of life, which, in the end, is very much like ours!

"A dose of feel-good humor against the ills of our society..."
