Farah and her parents have found refuge in a libertarian community that brings together fragile people, unsuited to the outside world as shaped by new technologies, globalization and social networks. Farah thinks she is a girl but discovers she does not have all the attributes expected. However, it flourishes in this strange paradise among trees, flowers and animals, observing the adults put somehow in practice their beautiful principles: decline, anti-speciesism, naturism, free love for all, including for the disgraced, the old, the sick ... But this Eden is established on the Franco-Italian border, in a white zone furrowed by migrants: will its doors open to welcome them?--Gallimard. No library descriptions found. |

Dans cet univers totalement à la marge débarque soudainement un migrant sans papier qui arrive d'Erythrée, qui va bousculer cette communauté somme toute assez paisible et coupée du monde.
Un roman très original, parfois très (trop) cru, qui traite des utopies tout en collant également aux questions contemporaines. ( )
