À propos de cet audio
This is not a book about death. It's a book about life. We first meet Michel 11 days after the death of his son Lion.
Lion was lost, suddenly, to a virulent strain of meningitis and it's left his father and entire family reeling. We join Michel on his personal journey through grief, but the twist that makes the journey truly remarkable, and tips this true story into fiction, is the fact that we see it all through Lion's eyes.
In a stunningly original blurring of memoir and fiction, The Son tackles the very hardest of subjects in the most readable of ways. Michel Rostain resolutely ducks away from sentimentality and pathos, and tells his story instead with wit, wisdom, and vitality. For this is not a book about death; it's a book about life.
Winner of the 2011 Goncourt First Novel Award, France's best-known and most prestigious literary prize.
