Confluences

Anne-Lise Avril

Release date : 19/08/2021

Like two converging rivers giving birth to a larger stream, a confluence is the meeting and merging of two lives, of two people getting attached and eventually falling in love. Carried by an exceptionally poetic style, this first novel is at the same time an ode to nature and a call for its preservation.

Liouba is a freelance journalist specializing in climate change which she tracks around the globe, breaking stories from New Guinea to Russia. Imbedded with a Bedouin tribe in Jordan trying to replant a forest in the desert, she meets Talal, a photojournalist and an expert on displaced people all over... Liouba is a freelance journalist specializing in climate change which she tracks around the globe, breaking stories from New Guinea to Russia. Imbedded with a Bedouin tribe in Jordan trying to replant a forest in the desert, she meets Talal, a photojournalist and an expert on displaced people all over the world. A friendship blossoms that turns eventually into attraction. Year after year, fate brings them together again only to separate them anew. All along the story, their journeys lead them through warzones, theatres of inhumanity and barbarism, as well as to chance encounters with exceptional human beings fighting for the preservation of our planet. Will Liouba and Tabal eventually settle in the same place and build a future together?
Written in an elegiac tone, Anne-Lise Avril’s grave and melancholic debut revolves around the impossible love between two beings alternatively separated, torn apart and reunited by the great issues of our time. A praise for deceleration and mindfulness, this first novel elevates nature and its landscapes to main characters of the story and highlights the fragility and preciousness of our ecosystem. Blending true stories of struggle, resilience, hope and perseverance, Confluences reminds us of the important struggles of our generation for the generations to come.
