«Effroyables jardins» is the novel by Michel Quint, published by Pocket in paperback (138 pages, in French).
In Effroyables jardins, a son recalls the shame his father causes him, who dresses up as a clown at every family party. After a trip to the movies, his uncle Gaston tells him the story of a resistance fighter and a German soldier during World War II; that revelation transforms his image of his father and the meaning of his clown costumes.
The work was originally published in 2000; this Pocket edition is from 2003. The cover indicates an adaptation of the work by Jean Becker.
For readers of contemporary French fiction and World War II stories; its brevity also makes it accessible to a younger audience.
