Ce que je sais de toi
Description:
In Cairo in the 1980s, a young doctor follows a destiny mapped out for him. Between his dispensary and the prestigious practice inherited from his father, Tarek has little room to ask himself questions. But the encounter with a person who seems to be alienated from him will shake his marriage, his career and his certainties, leaving him with no other choice than exile. From the Levantine community of Egypt to the winters of Montreal, from the reign of Nasser to the dawn of the 2000s, Tarek flees, wanders and remembers. But does he know that thousands of kilometres away, someone is mending the tatters of his story and trying to retrace, chapter by chapter, the course of his life? A story of an absence and a reconciliation, What I Know About You delicately, humorously and sensitively paints the portrait of a torn clan and a society in full transformation. This first novel by Éric Chacour reveals an author with a chiseled tongue, a luminous mind, inhabited by a deep understanding of human nature. A book that smells of garlic, anise and family secrets.
