The Tomorrows We Carry

Learning to live after loss

Grief & rebuilding

After her mother's death, Clara discovers that grief follows no straight line. This tender novel explores memory, survivor's guilt, and the slow recomposition of a shattered inner world.

Written with clinical precision and novelistic warmth, it speaks to anyone who has had to learn, day after day, how to carry what remains.

About

Rachel Nacer

A novelist and essayist, Rachel Nacer has spent fifteen years exploring the landscapes of contemporary psychology through fiction and nonfiction.

Trained in clinical psychology in Paris, she spent years supporting patients in private practice before devoting her energy to writing. This dual experience — listening face-to-face and the solitude of the manuscript — shapes a voice that is both rigorous and deeply empathetic.

Her books have been translated into eight languages and praised by the literary press for making intimate experiences intelligible without simplifying them.

Vision of writing

“I don't write to hand out ready-made answers, but to open the right questions. When literature hits its mark, it becomes a kind mirror.”

Favorite themes
