Pardonnable, impardonnable

Synopsis of Pardonnable, impardonnable

One summer afternoon, while twelve-year-old Milo is cycling along a country road, he falls and is seriously injured. His parents, Céleste and Lino, and his grandmother Jeanne rush to his side. Very soon, each will look for the reasons for the accident. Or rather the culprit. Who was with him that day? Why wasn't Milo at his table, doing his homework, as planned? As the anguish rises around Milo's condition, the power relations, the lies and the small arrangements that underpin this family gradually resurface. The love that each one has for the child will not be enough to stop the deflagration. But when hatred has taken everything in its path, what other choice will they have to survive but to embark on the path of forgiveness? A choral novel that explores the difficulty of finding one's place within the clan, the sorrows and guilt, but also and above all the strength of love in all its forms.
