“That's how it is here.” She would hear that phrase often. At that precise moment, she understood that she was a foreigner, a woman, a wife, a being at the mercy of others. In 1944, Mathilde fell in love with Amine, a Moroccan who had come to fight in the French army. Dreaming of leaving her native Alsace, the young woman moved with him to Meknes to start a family. But disillusionment set in: lack of money, racism, and humiliation weakened their relationship. In this ambivalent country, which demands independence that men refuse to grant to women, will Mathilde succeed in pursuing her quest for freedom without hurting those she loves?

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.
