Let Us Dream: A heartwarming novel about friendship and second chances

By Lucile Baladier

What if the dreams we leave behind always find a way back to us?

Mathilde and Manon have been best friends since childhood. One is French, the other Canadian. Together, they share an apartment in Toronto, a head full of plans, and a bucket list of dreams waiting to be fulfilled.

During a road trip across Canada, their lives intersect with those of Antoine, Pierre, and Marc. At the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Mathilde and Antoine fall instantly and deeply in love. Carried away by that passion, Mathilde makes a life-altering choice: she leaves everything behind, her country, her studies, even her friendship with Manon, to follow him to Paris.

But was it the right decision?

Twenty-five years later, as life has quietly taken its course, an unexpected opportunity resurfaces. A long-buried dream. And a question she can no longer ignore: is it still possible to choose her own path?

Let Us Dream is a contemporary, heartwarming novel that takes readers on a journey between Canada and France, guided by deeply human and endearing characters. A luminous page-turner filled with emotion, humor, and twists, it celebrates friendship, love, and the courage it takes to reinvent oneself.
