«L'Adieu à la femme sauvage» is the historical novel by Henri Coulonges, published by Editions du Club France Loisirs in hardcover (467 pages, in French).
In February 1945, Johanna goes to a circus on the night Dresden suffers the Allied bombing that razes the city. Her mother, traumatized, becomes absent and like a «femme sauvage». Johanna accompanies her in a flight where a chorus of children, an archaeologist, and a doctor help them, until the farewell becomes a way of finding each other again.
The work, originally published in 1979, received that same year the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie française and the Prix RTL grand public.
For readers of historical fiction and survival stories, with a child's perspective on a tragic episode of World War II.
