Title : Why the Sky is Blue - Christian Signol - book

Summary :

Julien Signol, my paternal grandfather, never knew how to read or write, and I, his grandson, became a writer. Thanks to him, of course, and thanks to my parents, their work, their courage, everything they left me. And yet, it took Julien more than forty years to dare ask his son the question his mother had answered with a cruel slap when he was seven: Why is the sky blue? He was left bruised, vaguely understanding that the child of a servant, a widow at that, had no right to raise his head to the sky. This scene did not take place in the 18th ^century. century, but the dawn of the 20th ^century ... Men suffer, struggle, so that their children live better lives than they did. Julien is a humble example: by escaping a destiny written in advance, he succeeded in conquering his dignity, in offering his sons everything he had lacked. Is this not still today, despite the differences in lifestyles, the goal of all men and women in a fight that remains and will always remain the same? Christian Signol
