Barbès by Yasmina Khadra: a dazzling portrait of this unique neighborhood and its inhabitants
At the foot of the Sacré-Cœur where he lives, life has not been kind to Nestor. Rejected at birth by his mother, he lives with his grandmother, who took him in and whom he adores. She supports them with her meager pension while her grandchildren, driven by tireless vitality and incurable optimism, find countless opportunities to improve their daily lives in this Barbès neighborhood where all peoples, all destinies, all despairs intertwine.
But the day the old lady starts losing her mind and has to be placed in an old people's home, everything crumbles for Nestor. All he has left is the violence of his dreams and the words his grandmother taught him. These words he will put on paper to express the rage to live that inhabits him. In the neighborhood, his friends call him "Heart-of-Almond." This will be the title of his book.
And who knows... No one is safe from success.
"A novel that makes you feel good, about resilience, love, solidarity, and hope." Radio France
"Luminous pages, full of emotion and humanity." Port Maria Libraries (Quiberon)
