«Les vies extraordinaires d'Eugène» is the novel by Isabelle Monnin, published by Jean-Claude Lattès in paperback (231 pages, in French).
After the death of their son Eugène six days after birth, his parents face grief from opposite shores: the father, a historian, methodically reconstructs the life the child «should have had», while the mother sinks into silence and sews red velvet trousers imagining him in heroic lives. A novel about imagination as a response to pain, woven with an almost detective-like investigation.
Subtitled «roman», the action takes place in Paris. It was published on August 25, 2010 in French and is classified under Literature and Fiction.
For readers of intimate narrative interested in grief, resilience and the power of imagination in the face of loss.
