Title : Impasse Verlaine - Dalie Farah - book
Summary :
In her Berber mountains, Friday, the cheeky one, capers among the goats to make her adored father laugh and endures at home the fearsome eye and the nimble hand of her mother. Until the day she is married off to a man who disgusts her and takes her to live on the other side of the Mediterranean. At sixteen, desperate to be pregnant, she gives birth to a little girl for whom she will bear a surprised and brutal love. Impasse Verlaine, in Auvergne, Friday's daughter fills out administrative paperwork for the family and neighbors, does housework with her mother, sometimes arrives in class marked by the blows received at home. On the sly, she reads Dostoyevsky and wins writing competitions, loves a Philippe who does not look at her and the school which nevertheless does not want to see the violence experienced. This is the story of two cruel and joyful childhoods, the story of a mother and her daughter linked by a paradoxical love. A unique and universal story where humor rubs shoulders with poetry in a surge of imperious and magnificent vitality.
