Title : The Carpenter's Pain - Marie Le Gall - book

Summary :

The narrator grows up in an atmosphere heavy with unspoken words, in a house crushed by silence, whose stone walls ooze mystery... Her father is nothing but a solitary shadow. Why is the one she calls the Carpenter so distant? Why does her family seem perpetually in mourning? She would like to ask questions, but people are silent in Finistère. It will take her years to unravel the secret of her ancestry, to measure the invisible burden she has inherited. With a pen that is both vibrant and modest, Marie Le Gall deciphers the failure of a father-daughter relationship.

This delicate story never lapses into pathos or navel-gazing, and lets its drama slowly surface. Chloé Brendlé, Le Magazine littéraire

Writing reveals these lives, to elevate them above themselves, in what asserts itself as a literary work of great beauty. Jean-Claude Lebrun, L'Humanité.
