Description
Yamina Taleb approaches her 70th birthday with a desire for a quiet life. She finds solace in her adopted country and the love of her family, grateful for the opportunities France has given her. However, her children struggle to find their place in Paris, feeling like they don't quite fit in. As Yamina's family embarks on a holiday to a villa by the Atlantic coast, they come to realise that it is their sense of belonging that defines them as a family. Through alternating fragments of her Algerian past and present-day life, Yamina's story spans over seven decades, tracing the history of colonial conflict from the Second World War to the present day. This novel is a tribute to mothers everywhere, exploring the complexities of identity, community, and the search for belonging in a rapidly changing world.
