Here and Now

In this book, France Castel tells her story like never before, with the complicity of journalist and author Jean-Yves Girard. The starting point: objects kept in boxes that, like her, have survived everything. A torn photo in a magazine, the contents of an envelope walled up in the family home for sixty years, or a scan of her brain: these witnesses to her past become entry points that she bravely pushes open, inviting us to follow her. A journey without nostalgia, punctuated by bursts of her legendary laughter, where authenticity is the watchword.
