Au grand jamais
Description:
We grow up as much in a country, in a home, as in certain stories. But these stories are not all equal. One always takes over. It may be the most painful. It may be the most seductive. One thing is certain: it is not always the truest.” The narrator’s mother has disappeared. This woman, an acclaimed poet in her country, had already experienced erasure after settling in France: little by little, writing had left her. The disappearance then becomes a key for her daughter, now a mother herself, to solving “the enigma that is a person.” Following her instinct—or perhaps it is a gift?—she gathers the symptoms of a repressed history, until she unearths its beating heart. Full of echoes and secret recesses, Au grand jamais (Never Again) is a great book about unspoken family secrets, about what is passed down behind the silences, and about the stories that help us live. —Back cover
