Leurs enfants après eux (
And Their Children After Them) by Nicolas Mathieu is a coming-of-age novel about a group of
teenagers growing up in a declining industrial valley in eastern France during the 1990s. Through their summers, friendships, desires, and
frustrations, the story explores youth, class, family, and the weight of social destiny. It is a poetic journey filled with restless dreams,
lost innocence, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.
