One afternoon during a heatwave in a desolate valley somewhere in eastern France, with its dormant blast furnaces and its lake, fourteen-year-old Anthony and his cousin decide to steal a canoe to explore the famous nude beach across the water. The trip ultimately takes Anthony to his first love and a summer that will determine everything that happens afterward.\u00a0Nicolas Mathieu conjures up a valley, an era, and the political journey of a young generation that\u00a0has\u00a0to\u00a0forge its own path in a dying world. Four summers and four defining moments, from \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit\u201d to the 1998 World Cup, encapsulate the hectic lives of the inhabitants of a France far removed from the centers of globalization, torn between decency and rage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Nicolas Mathieu<\/strong>\u2019s first novel,\u00a0<em>Aux animaux la guerre<\/em>, was published in 2014 and adapted for television in 2018.
