Title : The ricochets of life - Dany Rousson - Book
Summary :
For one summer, Max and Jacquotte welcome their grandchildren, almost strangers. Too much unsaid, a secret, has driven them apart. Will the patient love of a grandmother, a past finally forgiven, and a shared passion for painting be able to rebuild the strained bonds of a family?
Summer 1986. Fanny and Nans are forced to spend a month of impromptu vacation in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue with their grandparents, Jacquotte and Max. The children barely know them because their mother has long since estranged herself from her parents, especially their father. While the generous Jacquotte wants to give the best of herself, she wears down the little ones with her energy; Max is distant and taciturn. Only Uncle Christophe brightens their days by taking them sailing on his Provençal boat.
One day, the children make a discovery that will change everything: in a forbidden closet, a magnificent painted portrait by Max. Nans, a drawing enthusiast, wants to get closer to this artist grandfather. But to unlock his heart, will he agree to open up and reveal his secrets, which have turned his family's lives upside down?
Sunny and generous, a novel about the strength of family ties in the face of the past.
