Description

Fils d'un manoeuvre et d'une femme de ménage, Romain Elléna est distingué, à l'école, par ses maîtres. Ses parents en sont fiers. Ils rêvent de le voir devenir "employé aux écritures". Il part pour la guerre, en réchappe, retrouve Françoise, la fille qui l'aime depuis l'enfance, et devient écrivain, passion qui lui permettra de surmonter bien des peines. Charlotte Carno, de mêmes origines modestes, aura moins de chance. Belle imaginative, couturière aux doigts de fée, elle restera vieille fille, proie de l'adversité. Dans ce nouveau livre, qui court de 1925 à nos jours, c'est la vie des Italiens (et plus précisément ceux de l'Ombrie) immigrés à Nice que Louis Nucéra nous montre. Comique, tragique, doux-amer, prémonition s'y mêlent. Et, toujours la tendresse et l'amour paradoxalement omniprésents dans ce monde où la barbarie supplante de plus en plus la nuance, où les vieilles civilisations risquent de s'effondrer en même temps qu'elles perdent leur instinct.
