Pollens

by Mahi Binebine

- Et ce grain magique, où se trouve-t-il donc ?
- Il est sur la terre et dans le ciel. Visible et transparent à la fois. Il brûle dans les lanternes et tapisse le fond des puits. Un feu follet dans le jardin de l’oubli. Il est la vie, mes enfants, simplement la vie dans toute sa fragilité ...

Reviews

[Labiad Hamid · Rating 3 out of 5]

Comme d’habitude Mahi nous fait plonger sans ennui dans un beau récit qui raconte la vie d’un couple français qui décide de s’installer à l’une des régions les plus connues au Maroc par le traffic des drogues KETAMA.
C’est un récit d’amour et de découverte du Maroc
