Imagine a feather drawing a bridge.
The feather of an owl, condor or buzzard from the Andes Mountains.
An alert and magical feather, soaked in an ink red like the blood of war, blue like the sky, brown like the land of the Ancestors, green like a vineyard, yellow like a winter sun.
A feather that would draw a bridge over the Atlantic, between France and Chile, between Europe and America, between the French language and the Latin American imagination, between the past and the future too.
This feather, it exists, it is that of Miguel Bonnefoy.
It publishes the novel of a family over four generations.
A family saga full of fantasy, a dreamlike ballet between remorse and pride, between the human and the inhuman, between life and death.
