«Le Coeur à rire et à pleurer» is the autobiography of Maryse Condé, published by Pocket in paperback (154 pages, in French).
Autobiography recalling Maryse Condé's childhood in Guadeloupe in the 1950s: a family sustained by secrecy and contradiction, a stern mother and a timid father. Maryse rebels, driven by a thirst for knowledge and the dream of becoming a writer; over the years, trials and nostalgia for the Caribbean soul lead her to indulgence.
The cover of this Pocket edition highlights the Alternative Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to Maryse Condé.
Recommended for readers of autobiographies and Caribbean literature in French, as well as for those who follow Maryse Condé's work.
