Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia: on the night after the terrorist attack
killing thirty-eight tourists on the nearby beach of Sousse, a
woman sits facing the sea, and attempts to take stock. Personal
tragedies soon resurface, the unexpected deaths of a dear friend -
a fellow writer who died just weeks ago at sea, having forsaken the
work that had given his life meaning - and of her father, a quiet
man who had left all that he held dear in Tunisia to emigrate to
France in his later years. Through childhood memories and the prism
of modern French classics, the story of Tunisia's Jewish community
is pieced together. Shifting from Tunisia to Paris to a Flaubertian
village in Normandy, Colette Fellous embarks on a Proustian lyrical
journey, in which she gives voice to loved ones silenced by death
and to those often unheard in life. Her love letter and adieu to
her native country becomes an archive - or refuge - for stories of
human resilience.
