Ten years in the making, writing it in-between too many other projects, the story of Charles and Alix is finally available to read… in French!
In 1941, Alix is a 22-year-old Catholic, prude and conventional married woman. Despite her faith, she seeks to escape from a violent marriage, with the resigned support of her Pétainist parents.
Charles is a brilliant 38-year-old lawyer, atheist and flirty bachelor. A non-conformist, he opposes the Nazis and the collaboration both in court and in secret within the Resistance.
Their meeting should not have been, and yet…
Between novel and mini-biography, Résilience is a tale of courage and perseverance based on the stories of Alix and the writings of Charles. Through this work of memory, their lives take shape and reveal how they faced adversity with surprising endurance and humanity.
Résilience is also a tribute to their fight for justice against the established order. It reveals the complexity of allegiances, convictions, and motivations in times of war and Liberation. Integrity and feelings are challenged. No one is then entirely innocent.
Résilience is now available on Amazon for the French readers among you.
