«Adieu au lac Mère» is the account by Christine Mathieu and Namu Yang Erche, published by Calmann-Lévy in paperback (336 pages, in French).
The book follows Namu through her first sixteen years among the Moso, a matrilineal society in Yunnan. It shows Namu's difficult relationship with her mother, her longing to travel, and her entry into the Shanghai Conservatory after winning a singing contest, and portrays a culture without marriage in which children belong to the maternal family.
Christine Mathieu, co-author of the work, is a French anthropologist and one of the first Westerners to study Moso customs. The book was published on February 16, 2005.
May appeal to readers of memoirs and anthropology, as well as those seeking coming-of-age stories set in little-known cultures.
