Aurélien Delsaux describes a year in the life of Luky, Abdul and Diego, three teenaged boys who live in projects on the outskirts of a provincial town, three melancholy young man who yearn to live life fully, and who bear the huge weight of the future spread out before them. We can guess at their fears as we see their hearts shriveling secretly towards a corner of their childhood that they cling to stubbornly.

Pour Luky is a novel about real friendship, about brothers by choice. It talks about vocations, diversity, the end of illusions, and the uproar of life that makes our heads spin, but also inspires great expectations. Between the lines, the novel also portrays the city, social differences and injustice. Warm-hearted and moving.

Nothing fancy, just a year in the life of three ordinary teenagers who have to decide what kind of school to go to. Providing un-clichéd portraits of its characters, Pour Luky also talks about the meaning of a vocation – those yearnings we feel inside us, not to be something or to do something, but to live and to learn.
