Used book – La femme de nos vies, Didier Van Cauwelaert

“We were all supposed to die, except him. He was fourteen, gifted, and held a secret. As for me, I was thought to be mentally retarded. But that morning, David decided that I would live in his place. If I was able to pretend, to pass myself off as a precocious genius and become Einstein's right-hand man, it was thanks to Ilsa Schaffner. She taught me everything: intelligence, insolence, passion. This unsung heroine, she is a monster in your eyes. I have finally found her trace, and I have a few hours left to try to rehabilitate her.” With La Femme de nos vies, Didier van Cauwelaert opens an unknown chapter of history through an exchange of identities with irreversible consequences.

Didier van Cauwelaert has no equal when it comes to creating characters and a plot that take the reader by the hand and never let go. Mohammed Aïssaoui, Le Figaro.
