Summary :

The daughter of a collaborator executed before her eyes at the Liberation, Gabrielle Valoria is to write the first biography of Sidonie Porel. But who is Sidonie Porel really? The most famous novelist of her time, or a literary fraud? A great lover or a manipulator?
Delving into the past of this woman she both fears and admires, Gabrielle discovers a world teeming with liars and traitors. Writers, politicians, journalists, prostitutes, big bosses: all hiding a secret that kills...
In Successive Loyalties ( Cazes-Lipp Prize ), Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves explored the ambiguities of the Occupation, with La Gloire des cursed, he attacks the lies of the post-war period. This romantic portrait of a France in the aftermath of chaos, where we meet the great figures of intellectual and artistic Paris in the 1950s, shows that the past always catches up with us and that wars never end.
