Title : Mother and Daughter - Françoise Dolto - book
Summary :
It seems to me that there will surely come a day when you will forget your disappointments as an educator in front of your daughter who wrongly seems to you to be in opposition to you and who is only different, with the gifts that you have given her, who loves you and esteems you at the same time as a daughter can towards her mother and towards a woman whom she judges at her worth." This letter of September 28, 1935 from Françoise Dolto to her mother Suzanne Marette is edifying. The relationship between the two women has always been complex and their correspondence over nearly fifty years bears witness to this. But thanks to her work and psychoanalysis, Françoise Dolto was able to cross the "halo of hostile opacity" which kept her prisoner with her mother. And she did so, as she never ceases to repeat and write to her, feeling great compassion for her mother whose suffering as a daughter she understood.

Title : Tanguy - Michel del Castillo - book
Summary : "Was Tanguy my first published novel, also the first that I conceived as a literary text? [...] This reprint comes shortly after the publication of Rue des Archives, which sheds light on its hidden aspects, something that many readers have not failed to note. The two books indeed respond to each other. [...] Between Tanguy and Xavier, there is more than the depth of a life, there is all the bitterness of a disenchantment, which owes less to age than to the progressive discovery of horror. If I kept, at twenty, some illusions, the sixty-year-old who wrote Rue des Archives no longer retains any. In this sense, the circle is well closed. Tanguy's stifled confession makes the disenchanted music of Rue des archives. [...] From one to the other, a single link, literature. It constitutes, as we have understood, my only biography and my only truth." Michel del Castillo.

Title : Red Cloud - Christian Gailly - book
Summary :
France Culture Prize (1979-2005) 2000 A man is driving along a country road. He's going home. He's almost there. It would have been too simple: a car is coming towards him, it's his friend Lucien's, but when he passes it, Lucien isn't inside; it's a woman driving, a stranger with a blurred face dominated by red. Who is she? And Lucien, where is he? And this red, what is it? Lipstick? Jam? Blood? It looks like war paint. "Tears and blood, that's what the beautiful title of Christian Gailly's new novel promises. Nuage rouge is the announcement of painted skies, laden with a storm that the prose will constantly repeat, evasive and dilatory, slyly playful. It is also the invention, perhaps, of an original form of fiction: the stuttering thriller. The narrator was a stutterer before his story began, before his tongue loosened as a witness - he will not be a hero of anything, not even of the rather sordid news item that serves as the plot of this gripping book. (Fabrice Gabriel, Les Inrockuptibles) "Christian Gailly's characters are, more than ever, by his own admission, lost souls. Like Rebecca Lodge, the Danish heroine of Nuage rouge, who, "without losing sight of the sun and love", ends up getting lost one summer afternoon on a small road in the Vendée countryside. Multiple variations on the same gesture, infinite oscillations, the marvelously refined art of suspension. Christian Gailly definitely wins the heart." (Jean-Noël Pancrazi, Le Monde) Nuage rouge was published in 2000.

Title : The Red Muse - Véronique de Haas - book
Summary :
Quai des Orfèvres Prize 2022 Paris 1920. Upon his return from the trenches, Victor Dessange, formerly of La Mondaine, joins the Criminal Brigade. The atmosphere in the capital is electric—between repeated strikes and clashes between communists and anarchists on one side and the royalists of the Action Française on the other. Clandestine members of the Internationale are flocking from everywhere, while the colonial empires are cracking. In such a context, the successive murders of several prostitutes struggle to appear as priority cases. Until it is no longer a night-time beauty, but a client, an official representative of the Republic of China, who finds death in a brothel. In charge of the investigation, Victor tries to unravel a skein that will lead him from a penal colony for children in Brittany to the attack on a gold convoy in Morocco, of which neither the culprits nor the loot were ever found. A mother of four and a literature teacher for forty years, Véronique de Haas has always been passionate about 20th-century history, particularly the interwar period. She believes that the police investigation and The world of the police are effective filters for observing and understanding the multiple facets of society. The Red Muse was born from this approach.

Would you like some more of this Morteau, simmered in yesterday's stew, accompanied by a Poulsard...? With a Comté cheese that's over eighteen months old, we recommend this young lieutenant, 30 years old, without much aging à la PJ, but with a... nose, discerning and tasty!

Title : The Angel Recital - Tracy Chevalier - book
Summary : London, January 1901: Queen Victoria has just died. As custom dictates, the families go to the cemetery. Their graves were adjoining, the Waterhouses and the Colemans get to know each other, and their granddaughters immediately become friends. Yet the families have little in common.

In the cemetery, the true heart of the novel, Lavinia and Maude often meet and share their games and secrets with Simon, the gravedigger's son, much to their parents' dismay. Lavinia is raised to respect principles, while Maude is left to her own devices: her mother, Kitty Coleman, lives in her own fantasies. Neither reading, nor gardening, nor even an affair are enough to give her a taste for life. Until the day she discovers the suffragette cause. The lives of both families will be changed forever.

Title : Talking to Children Correctly - Françoise Dolto - book
Summary : In these previously unpublished interviews, conducted between 1977 and 1988, Françoise Dolto explains, using everyday situations, the importance of speaking accurately to children about their perceptions, because "putting words to what we feel, whether in tenderness or in hatred, that is what is human." On all the themes she addresses in these texts - sex education, relationships between children and grandparents, gifts, the sense of the sacred, or communicating with a deaf child - Françoise Dolto emphasizes the need to "speak accurately to children because they feel accurately." And when the truth is painful for the parents themselves, "you must always say something that is on the path to the truth."
