Description

A tender, lyrical collection unfolds as a lover’s voice reaches back across ten years, recalling sun‑drenched afternoons in Provence and the simple, fragrant moments of youth. Through short, vivid sketches—ranging from the playfulness of “Un bain” and “Les fraises” to the quiet humor of “Le grand Michu”—the narrator paints everyday scenes with a poet’s eye, inviting listeners to wander among fields, rivers, and whispered promises.

The tone shifts as the narrator, now hardened by war and the grind of city life, confronts lingering wounds while still drawing strength from the memory of Ninon’s voice. Memoir fragments trace the restless days of a journalist‑soldier, offering a poignant mix of nostalgia and raw honesty. Together, the stories and recollections create an intimate portrait of love, loss, and the resilient hope that lives on in each whispered word.
