Dix-Sept Ans - Éric Fottorino
Out of stock
“Lina was never really there. Everything happened in her eyes. I knew their nuances, their reflections, their defeats. A shadow passed over her eyes, a harsh shadow that faded her face. She was there, but she was far away. I didn't understand these mood swings, these swings of love.” One Sunday in December, Lina reveals the secret that has been suffocating her to her three sons. By revealing suffering that has been hidden for so long, this woman, whose destiny has been forced upon her since adolescence, lets her humanity and her determination to live freely burst forth. In his most personal novel, Éric Fottorino paints a sunny yet painful portrait of a little-known but deeply loved mother.
"Lina n'était jamais vraiment là. Tout se passait dans son regard. J'en connaissais les nuances, les reflets, les défaites. Une ombre passait dans ses yeux, une ombre dure qui fanait son visage. Elle était là mais elle était loin. Je ne comprenais pas ces sautes d'humeur, ces sautes d'amour." Un dimanche de décembre, Lina livre à ses trois fils le secret qui l'étouffe. En révélant une souffrance si longtemps cachée, cette femme dont on a forcé le destin depuis l'adolescence laisse alors éclater toute son humanité et son obstination à vivre libre. Dans le plus personnel de ses romans, Éric Fottorino dresse le portrait solaire et douloureux d'une mère mal connue mais profondément aimée.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
