«Le fils du silence» is a narrative by Jeanne Champion, published by Fayard in paperback (245 pages, in French).
The narrative opens with a painting by Georges de la Tour: a servant discovers a face beneath a staircase. That image evokes Alexis, a young Roman who disappeared on his wedding night and spent seventeen years hidden in his father's house without being recognized. His memoirs, written before his death, question his family and the meaning of good and evil.
The work was originally published in 2006 in France, and its subtitle, «récit», defines the genre of the narrative.
For readers who appreciate Christian legends and stories about identity and family recognition.
Jeannine Gabrielle Marie Ange Champion, better known as Jeanne Champion was a French painter and historical novelist.
