There's a Monster Behind the Door

Meer over het boek

It all began one evening in 1981 when, in the town of Sainte-Marie, two young people had the misfortune of meeting. While a party was in full swing outside, a cook was taking off his jacket and the white hat he had worn since morning. The Dessaintes are one of the most famous families in Réunion. They are ambitious, brave, and a bit whimsical. But, in the opinion of the neighbors, psychiatrists, and the police, they are just crazy. As eccentric as they are, they give birth to a daughter. A little firecracker who is determined to become someone. This poignant family story set in Réunion in the 1980s is told here. Readers will find rhythm, a lively and offbeat tone, and, above all, sharp humor. They are invited to open the door to see the monster leap out. Surprises await, with no regrets!
