Gaspard has lost everything except hope, while Marianne does what she can, but does it well… and with a smile!

Winter 1951. Two former Free French Forces soldiers appear on Avenue de la Gare. One of them was born on this very street, which he left in September 1939, and his return is not exactly good news for its inhabitants.

But it is also, and above all, the story of a long-planned and patiently carried out revenge. Publication date: May 2, 2025. Order Press release

When, a few years ago, Matthieu Lefèvre took out two life insurance policies for his wife Virginie, he didn't think it necessary to tell her. A small detail, certainly, but one that would change this man's life forever. His life and… his death. As Jack Laliberté, an elderly witness to these events, would say much later: “You're young, it's true, but when faced with death, you have to relax. You should always take a deep breath and exhale slowly when faced with things or events over which we have no control or which we don't understand. The two are, moreover, very closely linked…” A lesson to be learned, without a doubt. Publication date: December 1, 2023. Order now
