French writer Agnes Martin-Lugand self-published her first novel in December 2013. People started reading it. And then more people and pretty soon it was at the top of the French kindle charts, outselling Fifty Shades of Grey. It was taken on by a mainstream publisher and is being adapted for a Hollywood movie. It is also being translated into English with a Spring 2016 publication date.
I gather the story is about a young widow finding love in Ireland and I like it already because of the title: Happy People Read and Drink Coffee.
