Summer 57

Patrice Haubery

In a psychoanalyst's office, a man looks back on his past. His childhood was marked by several almost simultaneous murders in his native village, which were not solved at the time. The practitioner takes part in the game of introspection and enters into dialogue with his patient's unconscious. The two men will try to solve the enigmas that remained unanswered after the investigations that followed one another in this small bocage village, where silence is erected as a rule of survival.

The author takes us into a thriller where the investigations of the time rub shoulders with those of the hushed office. Most of the protagonists are dead. What remains are the writings, the diaries, the interrogation reports, the testimonies, the cleverly orchestrated disinformation. Summer 57 takes us into the history of a wounded village, ravaged throughout the twentieth century.
