"A fascinating political fable and backstage glimpse into the halls of power, shaken more than ever in the 2020s by social conflict and environmental issues."

Based on a true story, this novel ushers readers into a rarefied world at once hushed yet brutal: the Elysée Palace, official residence of the President of the French Republic. In these pages we are privy to the private life of President governing, or attempting to govern, a country teetering on the brink of a volcano. We dive deep into the complex emotional life of a head of state who divides his favors among three women at once, piling risk upon risk! One question looms: can the President save his own skin? This transgressive novel will have readers thrilling to the dangers threatening the presidency, all the more fearful when they stir unseen, brewing… like a tsunami.
