Un furieux silence
€ 11.70
ISBN: 9782266351133
Language: French
As gripping as a detective novel, as powerful as a tragedy, this novel relentlessly unravels the memories of a family of siblings to get to the roots of a family curse. "Actually, you're one of those families where you're raised by the good ones." When his wife says these words to him, Paul first remembers the tenderness of Huguette and Béatrice, the rigidity of his father and the silence of his mother. Then shame, violence and unspoken words resurface.
A sickly child, Paul grew up as best he could, to become a withdrawn man, powerless in the face of his own daughter's problems. One autumn evening, he returns to the Limousin region, to La Boissonnière, the family home he left thirty-three years earlier, following a bitter argument. There, he rediscovers a story he has spent his life trying to forget.
The voices of her sister Françoise, the self-effacing and loving little girl, and those of her brother Henri, the perceptive and tormented teenager, blend with hers to uncover, in a masterful composition, the secrets that destroyed their family and have continued to ricochet furiously since the 1960s.
