Showing results for "Christine" in 20th Century

Finn Hemingway knows for a fact that she's been born at the wrong time into the wrong family with the wrong talents, making her three dreams for the future almost impossible to attain. She burns to be a trial lawyer in an era when Ruth Bader Ginsburg is being told to type and when a man who is 500th in his law school class is hired over a woman who is first in hers. She yearns to find true love when the family curse dictates that love always ends for the Hemingways, and usually, it ends badly. And finally, she'd give up the first two dreams if she were able to triumph on the third.

Dans les Flandres françaises au milieu du XXe siècle. Louis, dont la famille possède un florissant commerce de vélos, rêve de fabriquer ses propres modèles de bicyclettes.

Mais tout oppose leurs familles : l'une est "recomposée" avant l'heure, communiste, ouvrière ; l'autre est catholique et bourgeoise.
