«Des gens très bien» is the autobiographical novel by Alexandre Jardin, published by Le Grand Livre Du Mois in hardback (297 pages, in French).
Alexandre Jardin explores the figure of his grandfather Jean Jardin, key in the Vichy regime, and the silence his family maintained for decades.

For readers interested in historical memory, Vichy France, and the moral dilemmas of family past.
