The Disappearance
How do you live once your daughters are dead? 'Every parent's ultimate nightmare is the prospect of something happening to their children. It happened to Genevieve. One night in 1980, her sister-in-law collected her seven- and four-year-old daughters from Paris to drive them to her in-laws. They never got there. Both children were killed in a terrible accident and somehow she has managed to describe the aftermath in this heart-rending collection of letters to a friend. I could hardly see the words of this beautiful, lucid and intelligent book through my tears.' KATE FIGES, Woman's Journal Genevieve Jurgensen took her time, and then wrote down what happened, and how she carried on. Her clear, precise, brief book is an exceptionally moving and powerful testament to the mark a life -- however brief, however infant -- can make on the world. Without ever being sentimental or preachy, this book manages to make you, the reader, for at least a passing instant, miss two lively little girls you never actually met -- and thus you have a sense of what it must be like for Jurgensen, to miss them every waking hour, every day, forever.
Avant l'avenir
Voici la vie d’une petite fille qui a trois ans en 1950 jusqu’à son mariage en 1970. Geneviève Jurgensen se fait ici l’archiviste de son enfance et d’une époque déjà bien lointaine mais riche d’histoires. La petite Vève grandit dans un quatuor familial qui se désaccorde : une sœur aînée déjà presque ailleurs, un père fonctionnaire international qui ouvre sa famille sur le monde et surtout une mère aimante, absente et malheureuse qui s’efforce d’initier ses filles aux beautés de la culture. Une famille où la parole et l’écrit, entre conversations et échanges épistolaires, ponctuent le temps et les sentiments. Enfant choyé, enfant perdu, enfant confiant, enfant fuyant, Vève ne rêve que de sa libération future. Hisser aux frontières de la fiction, l’ordinaire de la vie, faire parler le silence, sublimer les détails, c’est la marque de Geneviève Jurgensen.
Lorsque l'enfant disparaît

A Special Day
February 29th is a date that comes into existence just once every four years. It is also the birthday of Thaïs—author Anne-Dauphine Julliand’s darling daughter—who died of a genetic disease. Thaïs lived just shy of her fourth birthday. She had a short life but good one. As this special day is about to reappear on her calendar for the first time since her daughter passed away, Anne-Dauphine struggles with how to mark this momentous occasion. She wants to live fully on this special day: Thais would have been eight years old. Vivid memories of life with her daughter begin to blend with the present—every gesture, every word evokes a buried memory, arouses laughter or tears. Yet as the ...
Two Small Footprints in Wet Sand
“Add life to days when we cannot add days to life.” Thaïs is almost two. Like most well-loved children, she is happy. She laughs as she runs on the beach. But her footprints in the sand, with toes turned out, tell a differ
