Some encounters turn our lives upside down. For us, it was a house in Brittany. Abandoned, buried under ivy, exposed to the elements, it called out to us. We became the proud owners of its walls and, above all, of what they contained. For nothing there had moved in decades. Beneath the objects, old advertisements, and forgotten letters, the extraordinary fate of Villa Alice gradually unfolded.
We then set out to investigate: Alice, Marguerite, Monsieur Page, Guillaume, JosΓ©phine, Louise... who are they? Piecing together the puzzle of these ordinary lives suddenly makes them extraordinary and so close to us. This family has made itself known to us, to the point of becoming, in a way, our own.

Certaines rencontrent chamboulent notre vie. Pour nous, ce fut une maison en Bretagne. AbandonnΓ©e, ensevelie sous le lierre, ouverte aux quatre vents, elle nous appelle. Nous devenons les heureux propriΓ©taires de ses murs et, surtout, de ce qu’ils contiennent. Car rien n’a bougΓ© lΓ  depuis des dΓ©cennies. Sous les objets, les publicitΓ©s anciennes et les courriers oubliΓ©s, se dΓ©voile peu Γ  peu le destin extraordinaire de la Villa Alice.
Nous nous lanΓ§ons alors dans l’enquΓͺte : Alice, Marguerite, Monsieur Page, Guillaume, JosΓ©phine, Louise... qui sont-ils ? Construire le puzzle de ces vies ordinaires les rend soudain extraordinaires et si proches. Cette famille s’est imposΓ©e Γ  nous, jusqu’à devenir un peu la nΓ΄tre.

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!
