Even before its publication, scheduled for August 24, the first novel by Alice Renard, 21 years old and a literature student, finds herself in the spotlight of the 2023 literary season. It tells the story of Isor, a mute child and on the sidelines until he meets a neighbor in his seventies, Lucien. Their chemistry will be broken a few years later by an accident and the mysterious flight of Isor to Sicily, who then discovers the world. Diagnosed early at six years old, Alice Renard is particularly interested in the question of neurodiversity and hypersensitivity, specifies Editis, parent company of the Héloïse d’Ormesson editions, on its site “Read”.
