| Summary: | Shortly after Albert Cohen left France for London to escape the Nazis, he received news of his mother's death in Marseilles. Unable to mourn her, he expressed his grief in a series of heartfelt pieces for La France Libre, which he later revised and combined in this moving collection of poignant memoirs. Translated from French by his wife Bella Cohen, it still retains its poignancy as an achingly honest, intimate and moving account and a tribute to all mothers. A heartbreakingly beautiful work by the internationally renowned author. |
