Customer Review

Emma, ​​17 fell into a spiral of anorexia. The diet to lose some curves turned into total control of his cops: eating and induce vomiting. One night she hears her grandmother Mamouchka talk in his sleep of a certain Eva Hirschbaum of Jacques and Sobibor. Lorsqu'Emma asks his grandmother, the latter is reluctant. Mamouchka, ill, dies and Emma discovers the diary of Jacques Desroches hidden in clothing Mamouchka. Jacques Desroches was a French which engaged with the Germans during the Second World War and is the name of Sobibor, an extermination camp in Poland.

This is a children's book that I like: intelligent and reflections carrier! As the author says in his afterword, this is a book about the post. On the memory. On lies. On this groundswell that never stops moving. On silence.

Anorexia Emma finds its starting point in a diet and is rooted in time. His parents did not see or do not want to see his condition. Very close to his grandmother Mamouchka, Emma is very affected by her death. In the logbook of Jacques Desroches, it is the Nazi ideology, Sobibor and convoys of Jews who come to die. So many words, descriptions that take throat. But Emma will discover a well-kept family secret. An unthinkable secret. Emma will understand where this weight it carries and it will be faced with questions whose answers may upset more than one life.

Very well built, I did not for a second imagined this secret. The vicious circle of anorexia there is well described and the character of Emma touched me.

I read this book in complete apnea. The unsaid, the war and its atrocities, the horror of the camps, the responsibilities of past actions are topics covered in this book strong and poignant! I can only recommend ...
