2 in stock - Almost gone!
Written by Ajar, this novel won the Prix Goncourt in 1975. The love story of a little Arab boy for a very old Jewish woman: Momo struggles against the six floors Madame Rosa no longer wants to climb, and against life, because “it's unforgiving” and because “you don't have to have reasons to be afraid”. The little boy will help her hide in her “Jewish hole”, so that she doesn't die in hospital, and so that she can benefit from the sacred right “of peoples to self-determination”, which is not respected by the Medical Association. He will keep her company until she dies, and beyond.

Histoire d'amour d'un petit garçon arabe pour une très vieille femme juive : Momo se débat contre les six étages que Madame Rosa ne veut plus monter et contre la vie parce que " ça ne pardonne pas " et parce qu'il n'est " pas nécessaire d'avoir des raisons pour avoir peur ". Le petit garçon l'aidera à se cacher dans son " trou juif ", elle n'ira pas mourir à l'hôpital et pourra ainsi bénéficier du droit sacré " des peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes " qui n'est pas respecté par l'Ordre des médecins. Il lui tiendra compagnie jusqu'à ce qu'elle meure et même au-delà de la mort.

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.
