Title : The Man Who Loved Me in a Whisper - Eric Fottorino - book

Summary :

"My father shot himself in the mouth on March 11, 2008. He was over seventy. I calculated that he had adopted me thirty-eight years earlier, on a snowy day in February 1970. All these years, we loved each other even in our differences. He gave me his name, passed on to me his joy of life, his stories of sunshine, much of his strength and also a long nostalgia for his native Tunisia. In practicing his profession as a physiotherapist, he worked "the old-fashioned way," expressing himself only with his hands, if necessary with his eyes. He was courageous, strong-willed, but secretive: he always preferred silence to words, including at the final moment when his freedom was affirmed, without explanation. "It is the words they did not say that make the dead so heavy in their coffins," wrote Montherlant one day. But he still left me my words to me, his living son, and these few pages to tell him how much I still remain with him." Eric Fottorino.
