Very interesting on at least two fronts: (1) insights in the history of early Jewish settlers in Languedoc and Provence well before the Sepharadim. (2) his description and thoughts about the tension between love and roots in his couple, symbolised by the walks he takes in the Lebanese mountains as a Parisian Jew , right next to his people’s home in Israel. Allegiance to family, faith and cultural heritages are everyday balancing acts for him and for his wife in different ways. I found the book interesting despite some narcissism because of this combination of history and modern life in multicultural families.

Le résumé était pourtant tentant.
J'ai commencé les 50 premières pages, puis je me suis arrêtée.
Et quand j'ai repris le roman, je n'ai plus trouvé aucun intérêt à lire la vie du narrateur ni de son amie avec qui il a une relation particulière.
Son arbre généalogique ne m'a pas intéressé non plus, même si je me faisais une joie de lire un roman libanais.
