Hunting and Gathering by Anna Gavalda
An internet friend read this and said I would like it -- I did. Translated from French. Perfect combination of hard lives/struggle with hope and fun. A good message for me right now. Camille, a talented artist exhausted by ennui and anorexia, cleans offices at night and cowers in a shabby garret by day. Philibert, the fastidious scion of a titled family, peddles museum postcards while squatting in his dead grandmother's Parisian manse, waiting for her estate to be settled. Philibert's roommate, Franck, a talented (and womanizing) chef with ambition to burn, motorcycles once a week to look in on his stubborn, ailing grandmother Paulette, an "inmate" at a retirement home. (Italics from Amazon).
