When her forgotten childhood memories reappear without warning, a young woman’s life is turned upside down?

Connie has realized her dream of becoming a florist, and runs her small store in the heart of Vouvant village with a masterful hand. With a strong character, even explosive at times, Connie sees herself as a “bachelor” who needs no one. But the day she discovers an old photo of herself as a child, next to a little blond boy, all her certainties crumble. Who is this child she embraces so familiarly? Pushed back, her father confesses to her that it is Mat, her little brother. Victim of a serious accident at the age of two, he remains quadriplegic and communicates little with the outside world. Shocked at the time of the tragedy, young Connie erased him from her memory and her parents preferred to hide his existence from her. Carried away by her desire to get to know her brother and make up for lost time, Connie forgets one essential question: why did she have to hide her brother’s destiny from her for so long? She still doesn’t know what it costs to stir up the past...

The author

Delphine Giraud is passionate about reading and writing. Doucement renaît le jour is her second novel after Six ans à t’attendre published in 2019, which was an incredible success.

Strong points

After the great success of Six ans à t’attendre, the objective is clear: to install this author even more in the new voices of popular women’s literature.

Thanks to a clever mix of suspense and emotions, Delphine Giraud leads us this time in a family plot with twists and turns, impossible to let go before the final point!

A plunge into the heart of family secrets, demonstrating their sometimes dramatic consequences and the courage it takes for a woman as determined as Connie to face the truth.

We find Delphine’s talent to create “small worlds”, a village with its history, the florist, the baker, their customers and neighborhood gossip...
