Des Mes Nouvelles by Colombe Boncenne

 Truly delicate and intense the book written by Colombe Boncenne, Des Mes Nouvelles


published by Editions Zoe.


Each short tale is a precious gem. 


But let's see closely what you will read. 


In Pour Personne Colombe analyzes using beautiful descriptions what it means to be a  reader and the power of writing. 

In Perdre les Pédales you will read the story of Nancy and Agnes two big friends at first. Nancy is in the field of communication, Agnes, in the one of art. The two becomes good friends. In the while Nancy knows her future husband: a man unfortunately who suffered from the toxic relationship of his parents. Same was also for Nancy. For the preparation of the wedding Nancy asks also the help of Agnes...With the time Nancy broke-up her story with the husband, she will return to study, she will teach to the university, while, at some point Angnes is like disappeared.This story has been invented but coincidences has been a lot, as you will read. It is a weird tale that I loved a lot.

 

Boncenne won't forget intimacy in La part de l'Ange, but also friendship and the real meaning of it in a tale inspired by her brother: here Colombe will tell the long friendship with Leila. 


I found touching her memories shared on D. in La Ligne de Flottaison. Colombe met once an italian writer during a conference where topic was "Oblivium." During the dinner, chatting with him, she discovers that this italian author is seriously sick. 

Once, aftera while, she is contacted by R. The writer she had met during the meeting, that mr D. (who knows who was) was dying: so she replies to R. with a long letter without to receive any answer, while D. is dead in the while.


Delicacy, a special soft personal touch, permits to Colombe the creation of stories in grade to be truly loved and inspirationals. 


Beautiful book, highly recommended.
