Used book – Gaspard ne répond plus, Anne-Marie Revol

As part of a reality TV show, young Gaspard de Ronsard must hitchhike across Asia. His journey is cut short when he falls from a pickup truck and ends up at the bottom of a ditch.

The story then unfolds between Paris and a village lost in the rice fields of Northern Vietnam. We meet a clairvoyant antique dealer, a sentimental detective, an eccentric diarist, frantic TV producers, and My Hiên, a grumpy old tribal chief. She has only one thing on her mind: to force Gaspard to save her people from an imminent danger. Will he manage to return to France?

Perhaps you have to lose everything to find yourself...

A colourful, multicultural, multifaceted novel. Engaging and addictive. Olivia de Lamberterie, Elle.

No need to glance at the small screen to get a dose of adventure, this book provides it generously. Françoise Dargent, Le Figaro littéraire.
