When Catherine is diagnosed with acute leukemia, a deadly form of
cancer that attacks the immune system, her life is turned upside
down. Young and previously healthy, she now finds herself
catapulted into the world of the seriously ill—constantly testing
and waiting for results, undergoing endless medical treatments,
learning to accept a changing body, communicating with a medical
team, and relying on the support of her partner, family, and
friends. A professional illustrator, Catherine decides to tell the
story of her disease in this graphic novel, and she does so with
great sincerity, humor, and rare lucidity. We accompany her through
the waiting, the doubts, the fears, and the tears—but also the
laughter, the love, and the strong will to live. Rich in emotion,
lighthearted, and profound, Down to the Bone is a powerful book.

The only way out is through. Camille and Bastien are overjoyed at
the birth of their second child. But their happiness is
short-lived. Soon after Louis is born, he is diagnosed with severe
heart defects. Because of his young age, he must wait for
surgery—and the operation itself could prove fatal. During the
tense and bewildering months that follow Louis’s diagnosis, his
parents find some comfort in Camille’s father, Pablo, who comes
to help care for the children. The long wait turns into a joyful
interlude of games, tenderness, and deepening love between Louis
and Pablo, an experience that will remain forever engraved in their
lives. Inspired by real events, this emotionally engaging follow-up
to Espé’s The Parakeet continues the story of Bastien, now a
father, as he and Camille cope with every parent’s biggest fear:
that they could lose their child.
