Xavier de Moulins returns at the end of winter with “All the family together”. It must be said that the family is indeed his favorite subject. Here it is Max who is his hero, a man who has more or less just lost everything, he got fired and his wife left him for the perfect man. He returns with his two daughters for Easter to the family home where his mother, the bubbly Paprika, lives. He will also find his brother, his sister-in-law, his father and his new wife there.
The opportunity to relive childhood and analyze what remains when all is lost. The family, no doubt, even if the dialogue is not always obvious, neither is the transparency. Beware of pretense as Xavier de Moulins explains to us in our podcast.
It is a very beautiful novel that Xavier de Moulins offers us, he asks questions about this entity that is the family and does not necessarily find the answers but we understand it so much. Dive into the intimacy and richness of human feelings with “The whole family together” at Flammarion.
And if you like, you can get “My boy” which tells the links between a father and his son it’s magnificent and otherwise I would also recommend “La vie sans toi” a psychological thriller around a drama.
