Rencontre avec...Sandrine Biyi

Come and meet author Adrien Genoudet at your favorite bookshop for the release of his novel Nancy-Saïgon, Editions du Seuil.

"Somewhere in Lorraine one day in 2020, Simone is cremated to make room in the family vault. The traditional Indochinese garb she wore in her coffin is rediscovered. A blue tunic of which only one thing was known: Simone?s husband, Paul, had sent it to her at the start of the Indochina war, before disappearing.

The narrator inherits this garment, along with a box marked "Nancy-Saigon" containing Paul and Simone's correspondence. Reclining in his studio, he goes through the letters. As the pages turn, a man emerges - a certain Tilleul. A man whose role turns out to be complex, even murky. And he seems to be the link between desires and crimes." (Seuil.com)
