1 in stock - Almost gone!

There were small towns with churches, a few shops, fields and, in the distance, the power station. It was a peaceful spot surrounded by mountains and forests. Until the accident. The area had to be evacuated, sealed off, and people had to flee the radiation. Some chose to stay despite everything. Too many memories attached them to this place, and they wouldn't have really fit in anywhere else. Marc, Alessandro, Lorna, Sarah and Fred are among them. Their friendship kept them going, making them useless witnesses to this human desert of greasy grass and poisoned earth. Nothing was to sway them, nothing was to separate them. Yet all it took was one spark to rekindle their thirst for a different future: a child would soon be among them. Laurent Petitmangin, as deeply human as ever, recounts indelible memories, irrepressible instincts and the life that still imposes its law in the heart of these lands returned to the animal kingdom.


Il y avait là de petites villes avec leurs églises, quelques commerces, des champs, et au loin, la centrale. C’était un coin paisible entouré de montagnes et de forêts. Jusqu’à l’accident. Il a fallu évacuer, condamner la zone, fuir les radiations. Certains ont choisi de rester malgré tout. Trop de souvenirs les attachaient à ces lieux, ils n’auraient pas vraiment trouvé leur place ailleurs. Marc, Alessandro, Lorna, Sarah et Fred sont de ceux-là. Leur amitié leur permet de tenir bon, de se faire les témoins inutiles de ce désert humain à l’herbe grasse et à la terre empoisonnée. Rien ne devait les faire fléchir, les séparer. Il suffit pourtant d’une étincelle pour que renaisse la soif d’un avenir différent : un enfant bientôt sera parmi eux. Laurent Petitmangin, toujours aussi bouleversant d’humanité, nous raconte les souvenirs indélébiles, les instincts irrépressibles et la vie qui toujours impose sa loi au coeur de ces terres rendues au règne animal.

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!
