Description
Laure Adler’s passionate and intimate novel tells the story of a mother who, after 17 years, cannot let go of the death of her infant son. À ce soir follows the struggles of one woman: from her unexpected pregnancy, to her endless days at the hospital waiting desperately for good news. Doctors tell her that her child, Rémi, may not survive the respiratory illness that invades him, but she holds on until the very end, staying close to his bed day and night like the other desperate parents who crowd the hospital hallways. An emotional work of art, À ce soir paints a powerful picture of that sacred bond between a mother and her son. À ce soir is currently on bestseller lists in France.
