«Hinos ao amor» is the novel by Anne Wiazemsky, published by Edições ASA in paperback (151 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel begins when Anne Wiazemsky's father asks in his will that Edith Piaf's record «Hymne à l'amour» be delivered to a mysterious lady from Geneva; the author thus reconstructs family memory, with the figure of Madeleine and the appearances of her grandfather, the writer François Mauriac.
The French original, «Hymnes à l'amour», was awarded the Grand Prix RTL-Lire in 1996. This Portuguese edition includes the translation by Maria de Bragança.
For readers interested in novels with an autobiographical background, family memory and references to French culture and Edith Piaf.
