Jérôme Garcin
Mes fragiles

“In Mes fragiles, painting the portrait of his fragile young brother Laurent for whom he was a guardian, Jerôme Garcin is not seeking the reader’s sympathy but uses the magic of literature to banish the absence and conjure up the presence of his dear departed ones. A book bursting with feelings, but one that can also help dry tears.”
