Ma mère, Dieu et Sylvie Vartan
1 in stock - Almost gone!
Nestled in a public housing project in the 13th arrondissement, the family apartment became the domain of Roland, the youngest child in a Sephardic Jewish family. A playground he explored on all fours, listening
to the conversations of his mother and neighbors, their prayers and whispers. Because Roland was not a little boy like any other. The doctors are adamant: he will never walk. He discovers the outside world through television. There he meets Sylvie Vartan, a benevolent fairy with a budding career, whose voice will accompany him on the road to recovery.
When the miracle his mother never stopped believing in finally happens, when seven-year-old Roland takes his first steps, a new and infinite world opens up to him: the sidewalks of Paris, the metro, and above all, the École des enfants du spectacle (School for Performing Arts Children)...
Une enfance pas comme les autres, bercée par la voix de Sylvie Vartan...
Niché dans un HLM du 13e arrondissement, l'appartement familial est devenu le territoire de Roland, dernier enfant d'une famille juive séfarade. Un terrain de jeu qu'il explore à quatre pattes, prêtant l'oreille
aux discussions de sa mère et de ses voisines, à leurs prières et chuchotements. Car Roland n'est pas un petit garçon comme les autres. Les médecins sont formels : il ne marchera jamais. Le monde extérieur, c'est à travers la télévision qu'il le découvre. Il y rencontre Sylvie Vartan, une fée bienveillante à la carrière naissante, dont la voix l'accompagnera sur le chemin de la guérison.
Quand le miracle auquel sa mère n'a jamais cessé de croire se produit enfin, quand Roland, sept ans, parvient à faire ses premiers pas, c'est un monde nouveau et infini qui s'offre à lui : les trottoirs de Paris, le métro, et surtout l'École des enfants du spectacle...

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.
