Someone to Watch Over

Release date : 05/01/2017
How a happy band of straightforward and endearing old people could help a father whose daughter is already 20.
 
As he wanted to cure his neighbours, he has become a doctor. As he was willing to help people who are usually left aside, he spent many years in conflict zones. But when Thomas learns that he is the father of a 20-year-old girl, his view of life and certainties... As he wanted to cure his neighbours, he has become a doctor. As he was willing to help people who are usually left aside, he spent many years in conflict zones. But when Thomas learns that he is the father of a 20-year-old girl, his view of life and certainties are shaken.
He knows he won’t ever make up for lost time and refuses to trouble the life of the one he knows nothing about. But a rush, stronger than anything else, urges him to discover Emma. For her, he will thus become the helping hand of fate, the luck factor, the secret and watchful guardian angel.
In his mission, he can rely on the five residents of the retirement home he is now heading, together with the nurse Pauline, her son Théo, the guard of the nearby closed down factory and –without him knowing- Emma’s boyfriend.
This is the story of a man who, in order to reach a goal he can’t clearly explain, will be confronted with situations he doesn’t control at all. This is a story about pure love in every shape and form.

• Paternity and filiation are definitely universal topics.
• The most intimate novel of the author.
• In the vein of Jonas Jonasson, Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg: hilarious play-on-words, misunderstandings and digs come one after another…
