They say that every story has already been told. Alix refuses to believe it. She is a novelist, and for her craft, she has given up everything else. One day, she agrees to share her passion at a writing workshop on the island of Groix. While each of the six participants thought they knew why they were embarking on this adventure, it turns out to be full of surprises. Together, they will discover that the sun can set in the east, that a voice silenced for a lifetime can still sing, that love is worth shouting or cheering for on stage, and that there is no age limit on forgiving and starting over. Gathered around the words that move them, that live within them, that haunt them, or that stir them, they will learn that writing is also about listening.

Through a wonderful cast of characters, Lorraine Fouchet explores the invisible and precious bonds of friendship. From twenty to eighty-six years old, no barrier can withstand those who understand that an outstretched hand is the best weapon for taming one’s inner storms.

 

Il paraît que toutes les histoires ont déjà été racontées. Alix refuse d'y croire. Elle est romancière et, pour son métier, elle a renoncé au reste. Un jour, elle accepte de partager sa passion lors d'un atelier d'écriture sur l'île de Groix. Si chacun des six participants pensait savoir pourquoi il se lançait dans l'aventure, celle-ci se révèle pleine de surprises. Ensemble, ils vont découvrir que le soleil peut se coucher à l'est, qu'une voix muselée une vie entière sait encore chanter, que l'amour vaut la peine d'être gueulé ou acclamé sur scène, et qu'il n'y a pas d'âge pour pardonner et recommencer. Réunis autour des mots qui les bouleversent, qui les habitent, qui les hantent ou qui les émeuvent, ils vont apprendre qu'écrire, c'est aussi écouter.

Grâce à une formidable guirlande de personnages, Lorraine Fouchet sonde les liens invisibles et précieux de l'amitié. De vingt à quatre-vingt-six ans, aucune barrière ne résiste à celui qui comprend que la main tendue est la meilleure arme pour dompter ses tempêtes intérieures.

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. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
