Hervé Le Corre's new novel, Who will live after us, is a dark novel about the end of the world. It unfolds the trajectories of Rebecca and her daughter, Alice, after the electricity network collapsed.

The author says he wanted to tell the story of their descendants in a universe prey to barbarism. “I wanted them to be strong, armed, I refused to assign them the status of victims who must be protected and defended. Women are the first to suffer in times of war”
