At the height of his 70 years, Patrick Sabatier will turn for the first time into a novelist! His first book will be called The letter and will be published by Éditions du Rocher on September 21. The book will focus on the life of Emma, born in 1924 in Rome, who will have two children, one of whom will become a television star. “The story rests on pillars of truth, but I put a romantic distance, because I did not have enough direct testimony for an autobiography. All that I lacked, I imagined. But all that I imagined is potentially true”explained the ex-star of France 2 during an interview given to our colleagues from Tele-Leisure.
This story is his, that of this brother whose existence he discovered decades later. “He was the victim of a shameful lie: his father always told him that his mother was dead. It was in a posthumous letter from his father that he learned that he was the son of the mother of the gentleman he was seeing. on TV… In writing this book, I explained where I came from and put things in their place (…)On the one hand, we are happy to expand the family and, on the other hand, when we have not seen someone for more than fifty years, the story of our lives is very different. But also that of his mother. “We stole her child, and it affected us all because she could never really be happy. There was a divorce judgment and we considered that this young immigrant without education or money could not keep this child. He was forbidden to see him. From then on, I imagined his suffering”.
