Paperback. Condizione: New. Now in paperback, Marie Bronsard's strikingly original memoir reweaves the history of her family-and the legend of her grandmother-leaving no stone unturned and no skeleton in the closet. Egocentric and domineering, Bronsard's grandmother was once a vibrant and sensual beauty. In Indochina at the end of the Second World War, she thrived in the social life of the French colony, but her young soldier husband sought a quieter existence, finding solace in the companionship of their adolescent daughter, Bronsard's mother.
