Holding on to what is disappearing is the work of a lifetime. It’s our childhood.
UnPur is Benjaminquejetaime, as his mother calls him. But who is he really?

UnPur is Benjaminquejetaime, as his mother calls him. But who is he really?

The child huddled up in a freestanding bathtub in Italy or that other one whose imaginary mother in Paris showers him with words of joy? Is he that young man deeply involved with a blonde widow in Mexico or a man who is lost in the face of a mysterious little girl in Yucatan?

His trial will furnish the answers. The key witness is his much-loved but much-feared twin brother Julien, whom he has not seen for forty years since he was kidnapped by a predator who took advantage of a minute’s inattention on the part of his mother on a beach packed with tourists. It was his and Julien’s eighth birthday.

When childhood is snatched away from us, what kind of a human being does it turn us into? What acts is a child capable of committing? How far can he take things? Isabelle Desesquelles both unsettles and enchants the reader. She explores this unique thing that is childhood, from its beginnings to its final moments - this thing that we try with all our force to recover.
