«La sainte famille» is the novel by Pierre Combescot, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback (384 pages, in French).
Thérèse of Lisieux called the murderer Henri Pranzini «her first son»; from this springs a fictional lineage of the saint. Between religion and crime, the novel brings together gypsies, bullfighters, rogues, duchesses, pimps and transvestites. From Nîmes to Granada, it traverses Franco's Spain and occupied France with violent and lost souls seeking redemption.
First edition published in 1996. The cover includes the subtitle «roman»; the work falls within French literary fiction.
For readers of French literary fiction interested in ensemble plots with a historical backdrop.
Pierre Combescot was a French journalist and writer. He worked for the Canard Enchaîné, under the pseudonym Luc Décygnes. He was also a columnist in Paris Match.
