“The Letter” by Patrick Sabatier, a historical and intimate fresco

You certainly know Patrick Sabatier, the man of radio and television. Here it is now a novelist.

“The letter” is a misleading novel where personal story, memories and romantic saga cleverly intertwine.

Rome, 1924.”Emma’s first cry was her mother’s last…”. From Mussolini’s Italy to Mitterrand’s France, passing through the exile of the inter-war period, Emma’s chaotic destiny takes us into a fresco that is both historical and intimate.

After an unhappy first marriage, Emma meets Adrien whom she marries for a second time and with whom she will have two children. The youngest, Paul, will become, thirty years later, one of the most gifted animators of his generation. But a late revelation will shatter certainties, revealing a painful past that Emma thought was buried forever. A letter, a simple letter will reveal everything. Everything… or almost!
