She’s spending her maternity leave at her father’s. He lives in a village she’s known since she was a child. A house in a quiet street that’s been in the family for generations. Her mother died last year. She’s still not entirely comfortable with her baby. Nor with her job, which bores her. Nor with her husband, who is bored by her. Especially since, since she got there, a white truck has been parked in front of the house, spoiling the view. And it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere soon. Whose is it? And besides, what right does it have to park there anyway, when there are plenty of municipal lots? Her annoyance begins to grow. And slowly turns into obsession. She decides to do something about it… "The White Truck," Julie Resa’s humorous first novel, explores with great finesse that tipping point in life, when you’ll never again be the child whose parents used to ask if she slept well the night before…
