Title : The Promise to Elise - Christian Laborie - Book

Summary :

In 1956, Adèle Gensac took her first teaching job in Saint-Jean-du-Gard, in the heart of the Cévennes. Among her students, one stood out: Élise, ten years old, with eyes full of kindness, brilliant but mute. And born of an unknown father. A double singularity that her mother, Lucie Rochefort, despite gossip and backbiting, embraced in public. Over time, a bond developed between Adèle and Lucie.
One day, the teacher is entrusted with the little girl's diary, which contains her most distant memories. Terrible. Violent. Painful.
What mystery surrounds her birth? What is her mother's true story? Will Adèle keep the promise she made to Élise so that the torments of the past can finally be put to rest?
