Une vie inestimable
by Anne-Marie Revol, published on October 14, 2021 by Éditions JC Lattès.
Her favorite quote:
I did give "priceless" gifts to my grandchildren for their seven years ... what makes them priceless is not their monetary value: they have none! What makes them invaluable is their immateriality. Their universality. Their symbolic significance. No one can take them, grab them, hold them back, or kiss them in their entirety. Evaluating them, selling them, owning them, negotiating them, even stealing them would be futile!
Why this book?
Because Anne-Marie Revol
gives
us a kaleidoscopic story
imbued with great tenderness, made up of short stories that come together in a puzzle from seven intangible gifts made to her grandchildren.
Because if this story is not a true story,
it is truly romantic by drawing the hollow portrait of a woman with an invaluable life: generous, courageous and of great humanity
Because the writing accompanies the score with nostalgic music
stamped with the touching memories of our century.
