If you could go back in time what would you do differently? What mistakes would you correct? For Eliott there is no doubt in his mind. To all appearances, his life has been a success. At sixty, he is an esteemed surgeon with a daughter he adores. The only thing missing is Ilena – a beautiful, generous-hearted girl who died thirty years ago. But then he is given an extraordinary opportunity to revisit his past: to go back to San Francisco when the seventies were in full swing and find the passionate young doctor who has yet to lose the love of his life . . . What ensues is a story full of intelligence, hope and humour about making the right and wrong choices and trying to deserve what we most desire.

纪尧姆·米索（Guillaume Musso），生于一九七四年的法国新锐作家。少时即钟情写作，并立志成为小说家。米索九十年代赴纽约游历，靠在街头贩卖冰淇淋贴补旅费。这段波西米亚式的生活深刻影响了其日后的创作。米索二○○一年登上文坛，代表作《后来》（ET APRES…）在法国的销售已逾百万册，其他作品也已被翻译为二十多种文字。米索作品的画面感极强，数部小说将被改编为电影，并由美剧《迷失》班底制作完成。
