«Le cœur cousu» is the magic realism novel by Carole Martinez, published by Gallimard in paperback (432 pages, in French).
Soledad recalls the life of her mother Frasquita, a healer and embroiderer from southern Spain whose works seem to come alive: a cloth flower that withers, a fan that takes flight, a silk heart that beats. Lost by her husband in a cockfight, Frasquita crosses Andalusia with her six children, each with a supernatural gift.
First novel by Carole Martinez, winner in 2007 of the Prix Renaudot des lycéens, the Prix Ulysse and the Prix Emmanuel-Roblès.
For readers of magic realism and historical fiction seeking an Andalusian setting and a lyrical tone.
Carole Martinez is a French contemporary novelist.
