Title: On the Side of the Indians - Isabelle Carré - book

Summary :

"He made a mistake, he pressed the wrong button," Ziad thought immediately. "He'll be back down soon..." He stopped himself from shouting, "Dad, what are you doing? Dad! I'm here, I'm waiting for you..." Why was his father taking so long to reappear? The elevator's elastic straps stretched a little more, imitating gigantic pieces of chewing gum. Then a door opened up there, with strange, excited laughter that was being stifled. He'll realize his mistake, Ziad repeated to himself, only daring to climb a few steps, unable to pick up any other sound than that of the children still playing in the courtyard despite the late hour, and the exasperated voice of the caretaker shouting at her cat.
His father had vanished into the upper floors of the building and seemed in no hurry to return.
 
Ziad, 10, his parents, Anne and Bertrand, and his neighbor, Muriel, grow up, fall, go through storms, and drift apart only to find each other again. Like the Indians, they let themselves be taken by surprise; like them, they lack the right weapons. Will their imagination be able to change the course of things? The dizzying circle of beings desperately seeking light, captured by the sensitive and poetic eye of Isabelle Carré.
