La nuit introuvable - Gabrielle Tuloup
1 in stock - Almost gone!
Nathan Weiss has just turned forty when he learns that his ailing mother urgently wishes to see him - a mother he has been trying to forget since the death of his father four years ago... Expatriated to Slovenia, he nevertheless returns to Paris.
Marthe has changed: she has Alzheimer's and hardly recognizes him any more. Nathan learns that she has entrusted eight letters to her neighbor, with instructions to deliver them according to a precise timetable. He feels manipulated by this game, but is intrigued from the moment he opens the first envelope.
These poignantly sincere texts from a mother to her son shed light on Marthe's life. What if the solution to his own inability to live could be found in these letters, which attempt to repair the past?
In her sensitive, poetic writing, Gabrielle Tuloup describes the moving crossroads of two people trying to find each other before night covers their memories.
Nathan Weiss vient d'avoir quarante ans lorsqu'il apprend que sa mère, malade, souhaite le voir en urgence – cette mère qu'il s'efforce d’oublier depuis le décès de son père, il y a quatre ans… Expatrié en Slovénie, il revient néanmoins à Paris.
Marthe a changé : elle est atteinte d'Alzheimer et ne le reconnaît presque plus. Nathan apprend alors qu’elle a confié huit lettres à sa voisine, avec pour instruction de les lui remettre selon un calendrier précis. Il se sent manipulé par ce jeu, qui va toutefois l'intriguer dès l'ouverture de la première enveloppe.
Ces textes d'une mère à son fils, d'une poignante sincérité, vont éclairer Nathan sur le vécu de Marthe. Et si la résolution de ses propres empêchements de vivre se trouvait dans ces lettres qui tentent de réparer le passé ?
D’une écriture sensible et poétique, Gabrielle Tuloup décrit l’émouvant chassé-croisé de deux êtres qui tentent de se retrouver avant que la nuit ne recouvre leur mémoire.

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.
