Title : Balls, little balls - Henriette Bernier - book

Summary :

The ball, a true "French institution", is the common thread of this novel which evokes the sentimental and initiatory journey of two sisters over five decades.

Every Sunday, Juliette and Camille, two sisters separated by only a few years, get ready to go dancing. Hair rollers and frilly dresses. Floppy sounds and the accordion punctuate the history of a family like so many others. When the fifties give way to the sixties, electric guitars, bell-bottoms, and the pill take over, but there is always, behind the refreshment bar, that little sunken path where lovers go to get lost... And then, as they get older, charity balls will follow the tea dances. Thus, History unfolds to the rhythm of the little balls that will have swirled half a century of French happiness. But first, fifty years in the lives of Juliette and Camille, young girls who became women, somewhere in Lorraine...

A little marvel of writing to evoke the very essence of femininity.
