Set in 1948, this novel follows the daily life of Rémi Lagrange, a dreamer and the son of a postman, against the backdrop of post-war France. The story explores the tensions between public and Catholic schools in Réverac-du-Périgord, as Rémi navigates the academic challenges of the new BEPC exam and the discoveries of his first romantic experiences. The plot thickens when an essay written by Rémi, inspired by his crush on Zoé, his best friend's mother, mysteriously disappears, triggering a series of events that change his life. With sensitive and evocative prose, Michel Jeury masterfully portrays a cherished universe of collective memory, where literature and dreams of the future intertwine with the reality of youth in transition.
