Guernsey, 2010. After a stroke, an elderly woman shocks her family by speaking perfect French—a language they never knew she possessed. As her granddaughter unravels seventy years of silence, a hidden wartime story emerges... Paris, 1941. After her brother is declared missing in action at Dunkirk, eighteen-year-old Lenny Gallienne vanishes into Churchill’s secret army. In a bookshop on Rue de la Pompe, she poses as a shop girl while encoding intelligence from Nazi headquarters into knitting patterns. Each sweater smuggled to prisoners contains flight paths. Each scarf holds radio frequencies.

Story1
"Lorsque la dernière plaque, la plus à droite, a été retirée, un nom est apparu, gravé à la pointe en lettres majuscules dans le crépi grège : ANDRÉ CHAIX. Le R d’André, à mieux regarder, est une grande minuscule. Lorsque l’on déjeune dans cette cour, au frais, à l’ombre du grand platane, on distingue à peine les lettres. Je doute que le crépi, qui s’est ici et là détaché de la pierre, ait été repris jamais. Je me suis habitué à ce nom sur le mur, et j’ai fini par l’oublier.” Charles Berling s’empare avec talent de ce récit poignant et lumineux, et révèle le destin tragique et fulgurant d’André Chaix, jeune résistant tué pendant l’Occupation.

Story1
La Guadeloupe des années cinquante. Contre des parents qui semblent surtout soudés par le mensonge, contre une mère aussi dure avec les autres qu'avec elle-même, contre un père timoré, la petite Maryse prend le chemin de la rébellion. La soif de connaissance, les rêves d'autonomie et de liberté la guident vers son destin d'écrivain. Mais peu à peu les épreuves de la vie appellent l'indulgence, la nostalgie de l'âme caraïbe restitue certains bonheurs de l'enfance.
