"There are men who will always get lost" by Rebecca Lighieri

This text is a slap in the face. Impossible to escape the power of this story, you are caught from the first lines. The northern districts of Marseille, a sibling who must grow up in a broken family, a drug addict father, crazy, violent, scheming and endlessly wicked. He does not look encouragingly on his elders, of astonishing beauty, only when he gives them castings in the hope of making them stars and therefore profitable products. Poverty, drugs and AIDS… The novel takes place in this Marseille city between the 80s and 2000. It is one of Karel's sons who tells the story. Her sister Hendricka, her clear eyes, her happy teeth and Mohand, the youngest, crippled but who exudes unparalleled grace. These three love each other, support each other and try to hatch, to emancipate themselves in this violent and black environment. 

Alicia Honoré, bookseller at Mollat, tells us more about this novel.

The path is obviously chaotic, but these three children emerge such a force, an intensity carried by the remarkable pen of Rebecca Lighieri, alias Emmanuelle Bayamack-Tam.

"The life expectancy of love is eight years. For hate, count more than twenty. The only thing that lasts forever is childhood, when it went wrong", one before -taste of this dazzling novel.
