Summary
Lulu, 15, doesn’t just have the usual teenage problems to contend
with. She also has what might be called a problem mother.
For some time, Lulu’s mother, Juliette, has been withdrawn, hardly
talking, never smiling, taking no interest in anything around
her. Watching an old home video, Lulu is surprised to see her
mother as she used to be – happy, laughing and full of the joys of
life. At the time, which was years before she married Lulu’s
father, Juliette was madly in love – with a man called Jacques.
Believing that this will restore her mother’s spirits, Lulu sets out to
find Jacques and bring him to her...
