Anna Gavalda, a famous French writer who captivated the world with her novels and their exquisite, poetic style, began as an author of short stories. The collection “I would like someone to wait for me somewhere” consists of very different works. And in each of them the author looks special, showing us all the facets of his talent: there are subtle lyrical parables, ironic Parisian sketches, and simply sad “stories from the life” of provincial France, sometimes so tender, and sometimes very tough... All of them, of course, are about love in its various manifestations. About how piercingly short our lives are and how lonely we are without each other.
