Fragile

Are we going to all kill each other in this car?

Mom is annoyed with everything, dad cannot calm her anymore, and my sisters just want to disappear.

I am five years old and I have the intuition that it could end badly, so I fly to the rescue of my family by acting like a clown.

If I came into the world with those round eyes and this face that makes people smile as soon as I appear, it is surely to put color on the grey of our life.

Muriel Robin

For a long time Muriel Robin made us cry with laughter. For the first time she tells us about herself with a gravity that touches us to tears.

Without hiding anything from her childhood and womanhood sorrows or from a heavy secret, she gives us a portrait of herself that is terribly moving, pitiless and funny.

An landmark book!
