Enfant de l'immigration, Lydia Guirous, n'a pas eu de difficulté à s'intégrer. La France, elle l'aime. Trop peut-être ? Au point de déranger ceux qui voudraient qu'elle la rejette ? À mi-chemin entre le manifeste et le témoignage, l'auteur pointe la dangereuse dérive d'une France qui a honte de ses valeurs, de son histoire et abdique face à la montée du communautarisme et de l'islam radical.

In this richly imagined dystopic future brought by global warming, mass human migrations are constant, water and food are scarce, new babies are illegal, and the disintegrating society is run by corporates who feed the people a steady diet of "pharma" to keep them happy. Usually, 17-year-old Nat doesn't let it get her down too much: this, after all, is the life she's used to; and though she is nostalgic for the ancient world she's heard about, she's also realistic, cheerful, and tough. But now her family have come to Hawaii for their parents' Final Week.
