Enlacer le ciel et les nuages

Synopsis of Enlacer le ciel et les nuages

Three generations of women, from the pioneering air convoy nurse to her descendants, the flight attendants, are intertwined in this moving story marked by a passion for aviation and family secrets. Elisa, a brave and determined woman, dedicates herself to a rough and nascent profession, caring for passengers on uncomfortable flights and facing the tragedy of the post-war period in 1945. Her freedom and her intense love affair with an English photographer sow a mystery that her daughters and granddaughters, also flight attendants, will try to unravel decades later. This novel explores the intimate cracks and the passion for the sky that unites these women through time. With a historical background ranging from the occupation in Normandy to modern life, Karine Lebert's work is a tribute to the adventurers of the sky, offering a profound story about female emancipation and the invisible bonds that connect generations.
