A taut and subtle family drama from France.
A little girl lives happily with her mother in war-torn Paris. She has never met
her father, a prisoner of war in Germany. But then he returns and her mother
switches her devotion to her husband. The girl realizes that she must win over
her father to recover her position in the family. She confides a secret that
will change their lives.
Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'This is a poetic story about a girl's
love for her father. Told from the girl's perspective, but with the clarity of
an adult's mind, we experience her desire to be noticed by the first man in her
life. A rare examination of the bonds and boundaries between father and
daughter.' Meike Ziervogel
'A delicate, discreet novel. Like its little heroine. Impressive.' Sud Ouest
Dimanche
'Sizun's beautifully controlled and simple story captures the surprisingly clear
gaze of a little girl who discovers how adults excel in the art of concealment.'
