In this literary season, the writer Dominique Barbéris returns with an elegant novel which subtly paints the portrait of a secretive, melancholic woman who leaves her native Brittany with her husband for Cameroon in the 1950s for the effervescence of Douala in the eve of independence.
« Three times nothing, it’s already something used to say the French humorist Raymond Devos. Dominique Barbéris’ novel is a three times nothing novel. It is indeed by very small touches, almost on tiptoe, that Dominique Barbéris paints the portrait of a woman of the fifties.
A discreet, reserved, silent woman, from a modest background, transplanted from her peaceful native Brittany to the warmth of Douala, in Cameroon, whose upheavals of the time paved the way for independence. A woman who is going to live next to nothing, but who is going to live “something”, an “almost nothing” that says a lot, but without really saying it.
« A way to love ” of Dominique Barberis is published by Gallimard editions.
