My Wish List Summary

My Wish List: A Novel by Gregoire Delacourt

The #1 bestselling international phenomenon that asks, If you won the lottery, would you trade your life for the life of your dreams?

Jocelyne lives in a small town in France where she runs a fabric shop, has been married to the same man for twenty-one years, and has raised two children. She is beginning to wonder what happened to all those dreams she had when she was seventeen. Could her life have been different?

Then she wins the lottery-and suddenly finds the world at her fingertips. But she chooses not to tell anyone, not even her husband-not just yet. Without cashing the check, she begins to make a list of all the things she could do with the money. But does Jocelyne really want her life to change?

My Wish List Reviews

Delacourt's appealing novel (a huge best seller in his native France) [is a] dark, suspenseful fable. -The New York Times

Fans of Chocolat and The Elegance of the Hedgehog will adore My Wish List, an emotionally wrenching yet ultimately uplifting story of ambition, risk, and acceptance. . . . Jocelyne is an immensely likable narrator, and Delacourt's fluid, elegant prose brings layers of depth to a relatively simple story. -Booklist, starred review

Revelatory . . . with an unexpected twist that speaks volumes about the nature of truth, love and happiness. -Shelf Awareness, starred review

This dastardly little novel focuses on love, desire and what we stand to lose when we win. . . . [A book] the late novelist Josephine Hart might have written. -Kirkus Reviews

What is happiness, what can money buy, what happens to love? . . . [My Wish List] will attract . . . those who enjoyed Muriel Barbery's The Elegance of the Hedgehog. . . . A sparse, understated, philosophical [novel with] appeal to male as well as female readers, and for literary fiction fans and book clubs. -Library Journal

[A] fable about how money changes everything, and nothing . . . The aching need for comfort, safety and love that it describes is universal. -Publishers Weekly
