«Laver les ombres» is the novel by Jeanne Benameur published in 2010 by Actes Sud, in paperback (156 pages, in French).
Léa is a dancer seeking perfection of movement, but she cannot give herself to Bruno, a painter of stillness. In the midst of a storm she travels to the coast to reunite with her mother, who always remained silent. Eleven paintings contrast the lives of the absent with the main narrative, addressing memory, war, love, and the transmission of secrets.
Laver les ombres belongs to the Babel collection from Actes Sud, number 1021, and the cover bears the subtitle «roman».
It is a read for fans of contemporary literary fiction, psychological introspection, and poetic prose.
Jeanne Benameur is a French writer. Her father was Algerian and her mother was Italian. The family moved to La Rochelle when Benameur was 5 years old.
