On Tuesday, October 15 at 5:30 p.m. in the library of the Alliance Française, join us to talk about the book "Ce que le jour doit à la nuit", a novel from 2008 that will tell you an emotional story at the time of Colonial Algeria (1936 to 1962) , written by Yasmina Khadra.Algeria in the 1930s. The wheat fields sway. In three days, the harvest would bring salvation. But one tragic night snuffs out all hope. Fire. Ashes. For the first time, young Younes sees his father cry. And Younes' life will be marked by many more tears. He is entrusted to an uncle, a pharmacist in a village in the Oran region. There, the boy becomes part of the pied-noir community, forging unbreakable friendships—French, Jewish: 'the fingers of the pitchfork,' as they are called.
