Summary:
"Dans Dix-sept ans, Éric Fottorino évoquait le fantôme qui hantait le début de son roman familial : une petite fille née trois ans après lui et aussitôt arrachée à sa mère, Lina, puis adoptée dans la clandestinité d'une institution religieuse bordelaise. Mon enfant, ma sœur est d'abord la quête de cette inconnue. Ce monologue sensible, long poème en prose, se transforme peu à peu en une sidérante enquête qui conduira le narrateur sur la trace de sa sœur disparue. Éric Fottorino continue sa bouleversante recherche d'identité entamée en 1991 avec Rochelle, et poursuivie depuis avec Korsakov et L'homme qui m'aimait tout bas."--Page 4 of cover.
"In Seventeen Years, Éric Fottorino evoked the ghost who haunted the beginning of his family novel: a little girl born three years after him and immediately torn from her mother, Lina, then adopted in the clandestine manner of a Bordeaux religious institution. My child, my sister is first and foremost the quest for this unknown woman. This sensitive monologue, a long prose poem, gradually transforms into a stunning investigation which will lead the narrator on the trail of his missing sister. Éric Fottorino continues his moving search for identity begun in 1991 with Rochelle, and continued since with Korsakov and The Man Who Loved Me Quit."--Page 4 of cover.
