Valérie Perrin’s First New Novel since her breakout bestseller Fresh Water for Flowers
“Valérie Perrin is a prodigious storyteller.”—Elle
“Tata is Perrin’s most ambitious, most intimate, most liberating, most important book yet.”—Le Parisien
When Agnes hears from the local police her Aunt Colette has died, she can’t believe her ears. Her father’s sister Colette, her Tata, died three years ago and has been resting in peace in the cemetery of Gueugnon.
Agnes is called to identify the body: there is no doubt, it’s Aunt Colette. But then, who rests under the stone engraved with Colette’s name? And why did she fake her own death? So begins an investigation back in time, as Agnes pieces together the multitude of stories that lie behind her aunt's second death.
An intricate, compelling web of stories told with irony, delicacy and depth, Tata will keep readers glued to every page.
