Title : A Crazy Look - Isabelle Spaak - Book
Summary :
Simone Veil Prize 2016
Mathilde raised her daughter, Annie, born out of wedlock, alone, facing the wealthy society of interwar Brussels with her characteristic courage.
Annie murdered her wayward husband one day in 1981 and then committed suicide.
Mathilde is Isabelle Spaak's grandmother, Annie her mother.
The author sets out on the trail of these two eccentric women with controversial reputations. She begins by exhuming numerous letters and photos from the family home to write their story. During her investigation, she receives a letter from the Israeli memorial Yad Vashem, concerning her mother. Suddenly, everything changes: the murderer transforms into the Righteous One.
The intelligence and finesse of Isabelle Spaak's approach are matched only by the subtlety and gentle edge of her words. Nathalie Crom, Télérama .
This book has the crazy allure of a police report written by a poet. Astrid de Larminat, Le Figaro .
