Title : The Tooth Puller - Franz-Olivier Giesbert - Book
Summary :
Under the floorboards of his family home, a professor stumbles upon the unpublished memoirs of his grandmother Lucile Bradsock, who took refuge during the French Revolution with a famous Parisian dentist who taught her the trade. Her life resonates like an epic. Having become one of the first female dentists in history, this scandalous woman treated Robespierre as well as the king's son, before leaving for America on a slave ship. Thanks to her talents as a practitioner and during her adventures between the two continents, Lucile meets Louis XVI, Washington, Lafayette, and Napoleon, all described in an unexpected light. Taking up the cause of the slaves of the South or the Indians of the West, this Monte Cristo in skirts always seeks to influence the course of history without forgetting to right wrongs and take justice into her own hands. A tireless seductress, Lucile Bradsock professes an immoderate taste for love and men. Her motto: "Thank you, life!" This colorful odyssey is ultimately a hymn to joy.
