Le dernier cèdre du Liban

Eva, very intelligent but especially very angry, is a young resident of the Éducation Fermé Center for minors of Mont de Marsan. Abandoned at birth, she knows nothing about her parents.

However, that day, summoned to the notary, she receives her inheritance: dozens of microphone cassettes and a dictaphone – the voice of her mother over hours and hours of recording.

The war in Lebanon, Arafat's speech at the UN, the fall of the Berlin Wall... Anna Duval was a war reporter. Eva delves into a whole decade of journalism to discover her own Grande Histoire.

Tahar – Horsh Arz el-Rab. "the forest of Cèdres de Dieu". It is a somewhat sacred place for us. In the heart of this forest, among the other century-old cedars, there is a tree blackened by fire. He's the only one. They say he was hit like this all at once. One of the oldest in the forest. He was over 3000 years old, it seems. A few days before you arrived, I went for a walk in Bcharré. Up to that tree. I climbed the mountain until I reached this ebony wood. And there, before my feet, in the hollow of its trunk, I found its fruit, intact.
