Momo has been one of the ever-changing ragbag of whores' children
at Madame Rosa's boarding house in Paris ever since he can
remember. But when the check that pays for his keep no longer
arrives and as Madame Rosa becomes too ill to climb the stairs to
their apartment, he determines to support her any way he can. This
sensitive, slightly macabre love story between Momo and Madame Rosa
has a supporting cast of transvestites, pimps, and witch doctors
from Paris's immigrant slum, Belleville. Profoundly moving, The
Life Before Us won France's premier literary prize, the Prix
Goncourt.
