«Lettres à maman» is the letter book by Ingrid Betancourt, Mélanie and Lorenzo Delloye-Betancourt, published by Seuil in paperback (61 pages, in French).
Kidnapped by the FARC in 2002, Ingrid Betancourt wrote a twelve-page letter to her mother and family that was found in 2007. The book brings together that letter, written from the jungle, along with her children's response, as a testimony to her captivity and family bond.
Published in 2008; edited by Dominique Simonnet; foreword by Élie Wiesel.
Will appeal to readers of testimonies and memoirs, as well as those following Colombia's recent political history.
