WINNER OF THE PRIX GONCOURT DES LYCÉENSWINNER OF THE PRIX LITTERAIRE DU MONDE'A family saga that begins like a fairy tale in the mountains of Kabylia - Ali, Naïma's grandfather, makes his fortune by finding an olive press in a river - and turns to tragedy: fratricidal war, transit camps in France, racism and humiliations. The novel of a French identity that is forever variable and plural.'L'Obs'Highly recommended . . . Alice Zeniter [has] a dual talent for keeping her eye on History which continues onward and on her characters in the reality of the moment.'Grazia'A captivating exploration of the unspoken stories of the Algerian war.'Le Monde
