«Soyez imprudents les enfants» is the novel by Véronique Ovaldé, published by Points in paperback (384 pages, in French, 2018).
The novel delves into the family fabric and the secrets that hold it together; the past returns again and again to condition the present. Through characters with complex bonds and pent-up emotions, the author shows the fragility of life and the need to confront the ghosts each one carries, while a desire to flee to another place hovers overhead.
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in intimate novels about memory, family secrets, and human relationships.
