In older men cry: Monitoring The Imaginot (Paperback)

Customer Review

Albert was a worker in a factory Michelin. Attached to his land, he cultivates himself the fruits and vegetables that will be used to feed his family. Also handyman, he is passionate about watchmaking and likes to repair these wonderful machines that "even in failure, have the ability to give the correct time twice a day."

The story is set in the sixties and Albert is faced with technical and ideological developments beyond the.
This fable, which takes place on a single day (chapters represent different times of the day: daybreak, morning, afternoon ...) is a self-quest, a quest for meaning tackling major topics such as parental love, war, history and family heritage.

The characters are touching and profound reflections. I am from a generation that has known war in the history books. As they age, men crying is a moving book that manages to immerse ourselves in the turmoil of those people who knew the great wars, are in anguish from seeing their children in Algeria. But the author speaks here especially of love, love of a father who, with age allows himself to cry.

Mr. Rye thank you for this wonderful time of reading.
