A strange tale of a family that has a store that sells implements as well as potions to enable one to commit suicide. You wouldn't think this topic could be funny, however, the author introduces the newest member of the family who is cheerful and optimistic (to a point of fault, in their opinion), and turns the family business around. For students of French some of the argot may prove difficult but, nevertheless, not impossible to read. C'est une drole d'histoire d'un magasin ou on vend des trucs et poisons pour qu'on puisse se suicider. Pas drole, vous dites? Le fils, le plus jeune de la famille fait changer le magasin completement.
