An original feminist novel whose tone oscillates between humour and seriousness, cynicism and lightness. 
How far would you go for the love of... your pet? Emma, a confirmed and insecure singleton, learns that her little dog, who is the love of her life, has a serious illness and that only exorbitantly expensive treatment can save her life. Determined to overcome this obstacle and to... How far would you go for the love of... your pet? Emma, a confirmed and insecure singleton, learns that her little dog, who is the love of her life, has a serious illness and that only exorbitantly expensive treatment can save her life. Determined to overcome this obstacle and to find money for the vet’s fees, and despite her strong aversion of the idea, Emma agrees to take part in a reality TV show which gives physically unappealing contestants a makeover and transforms them into beautiful people.
Then there is Faouzi, a teenage lost soul in search of values to guide him and devastated by the recent death of his mother. At odds with his father and with his sisters, whom he views as too emancipated, he decides to move in with his new brothers, who have promised him spiritual peace – provided he follows in their footsteps. With Emma about to undergo a physical transformation and Faouzi in the process of becoming radicalised, their paths cross. Will they be able to help each other, or are they about to get into more trouble than they could have imagined?
Tu seras si jolie..., whose tone oscillates between humour and seriousness, is a cry of revolt against the outrageous emphasis on woman’s appearance in our own society, while elsewhere women have no rights, not even the right to show their faces. And if women’s status were ultimately at the very heart of the clash of civilisations?
