In July 1942, Rachel Blum escapes by chance the Vel d'Hiv roundup. Taken in by Catholic nuns and then entrusted to traditionalist Jewish parents, she grows up divided between Christian forgiveness and the duty to remember imposed by the Torah. Her son Adam inherits that wound and travels to Germany and Jerusalem in search of his Jewish identity.
The book was published on 4 September 1998. The work is classified as fiction about Holocaust survivors and children of survivors.
For readers of contemporary French fiction and stories about memory, Jewish identity and the postwar period.
Pierre Bourgeade was a French man of letters, playwright, poet, writer, director, journalist, literary critic and photographer. A descendant of Jean Racine, he was also the brother-in-law of the writer Paule Constant.
