Title : For your gifts - Jean Rouaud - book

Summary :

She will not read these lines, our survivor of the Nantes bombings, the young widow of the day after Christmas, who crossed three books on her small heels, leaving in her wake only the scent of a lady in black. Even if her life was not reduced to this sad silhouette, understand, it was impossible for me to write under her gaze. This pinched air by which her discontent was manifested, I had had to confront it for having revived, despite the prudence of a Sioux, a fifty-year-old romantic rivalry over a man who had been dead for thirty. Now that she reigned in her store and her great mocking laugh burst out, I was not going to spoil her belated triumph.
