Nous Aurons Ete Vivants

What if Hannah's world was turned upside down ? One day, on the other side of a boulevard in Paris, she thinks she sees her daughter who mysteriously disappeared seven years ago... This brings up everything she tried to forget, pulling down the fragile walls of defence that she had built over the years... she who, despite the grief, guilt and unanswered questions, had tried so hard to continue living - or at least to seem like it. The book plunges us into the year 1989, the night of the fall of the Berlin wall, and unravels the life of Hannah, revealing the links that she shared with her daughter until the year of the latter's disappearance. She will go from the shadows and into the light, in order to reach the joy of being alive. With this book, Laurence Tardieu signs the great novel that we have all been waiting for. She is the author of 10 books, among which are Puisque rien ne dure (Alain-Fournier prize), Rêve d'amour, and La Confusion des peines, which have been translated into several languages.
