An elegant novel in French about how wealth and happiness are connected. Jocelyn had an ordinary life - a house, a family, her own haberdashery store, friends. That’s how everything would have gone if Jo’s gigantic lottery winnings of 12 million euros hadn’t fallen one day. Jo didn’t rush out to buy designer clothes and jewelry, don’t give her husband shiny cars, or go on a luxury cruise. No, she decided to first make a list of her cherished desires, to remember what she had dreamed of all her life, but could never afford. And while the lottery ticket lay quietly in an old trampled shoe, Jo’s harmonious, albeit not splashing with happiness, life gradually fell apart. Sometimes, in order to understand simple truths, you need to go to the very edge of the abyss... “The Box of Wishes” became one of the biggest French bestsellers. In France alone, the book sold almost half a million copies and was published in 29 countries.
