Used Book – The Lady of the Mint Field, Christophe Chabbert, AMID BERIOUNI

A little boy lives with his mother and sisters in a faraway land. His father is absent for many months. He works for a faceless woman in a fairytale land, from which he always returns with beautiful clothes and delicious oranges. No one knows this woman's name, and no one has ever seen her eyes. One day, his father comes home and decides to leave again, taking the whole family with him. An odyssey then begins for this little boy. In the middle of a mint field, a monumental door stands: it allows passage to this unknown country. Amid Beriouni and Christophe Chabbert address, in this "real-wonderful" tale, the major themes that run through French society today: immigration, uprooting, integration... Far from any repentance and nationalism, with lightness and humor, they try to build the foundations of a country finally reconciled and at peace.
