Coup de cœur du lecteur ! 

"D'un pouvoir immense, très sympathique, très subtil et très humain, Philippe Collin connaît très bien les événements dont il nous parle. En utilisant des personnages réels et imaginaires, il conjure un récit qui prend au-delà de la surface de cette époque si déchirante dans l'histoire de la France.
Frank Meier restera longtemps avec moi." - Hilary P.
