De ses premières amours dans le jardin de ses parents à sa conquête du désert indien (et d’un homme du désert !) en passant par le Studio 54 et un camp de pêche idyllique, Michelle Labrèche-Larouche raconte les hommes de sa vie. Les 40 hommes de ma vie, c’est aussi l’histoire d’une femme indépendante et libre qui découvre, au coeur de la révolution sexuelle des années 1960, que le mariage n’est pas la seule option, surtout pas pour un esprit curieux et aventureux comme le sien. Au menu, des histoires d’amour, de passion, de désir, d’amitié, de ruptures, avec Jean-Pierre, Gino, Kano et les autres, des hommes qui l’ont éblouie, étonnée, déçue, troublée, mais toujours touchée.
