Cantar a pleno pulmón, provoca un extraño fenómeno: vacía la mente y hace que los músculos funcionen solos.

Un saco de canicas, de Joseph Joffo.

El peluquero Joffo, un honrado judío establecido en el París ocupado, decide dispersar a su familia para evitar el cruel y posible destino que les espera. Sus hijos, Joseph (el autor de esta obra) y Maurice, tienen, a sus diez y doce años, que sobrevivir solos en un universo desquiciado, en el que la barbarie, la amistad, la picaresca y, sobre todo, el miedo, imponen una sola ley: la…

Also idk if you have read any of these or if any of them are your type of book, but since you sent me so kindly some suggestions thought I should do the same. Since like I said I haven't been reading that much, these are just some old readings I liked from top of my head. You might also realize that I also have a tendency to books that depict some kind of medical condition or mental health. Probably because I studied Psychology in college. It's probably not your vibe, but I also quite like reading books from special needs teachers and foster care moms that depict real stories and how they helped the kids. The ones I have read the most so far are Torey Hayden, Cathy Glass and Casey Watson

The Language of sisters by Amy Hatvany

Behind closed doors by B.A Paris

The first day of spring by Nancy Ticket

The Midwife's confession + The Silent sister by Diane Chamberlain

The Whisperer by Donato Carrisi

She's a bit of a mainstream author, but I quite like Dorothy Koomson. I think her earlier works are a bit more chick flick territory, but I only read one of those and I thought it was fun and light and not too bad. So these are my suggestions: My bestfriend's girl + The Rose petal beach + The woman he loved before + The chocolate run

Other mainstream author I like sometimes is Jodi Picoult. Now, she sticks to a formula so if you don't like the structure maybe you won't like her books. Also I don't read all of her books, but thematically wise not all of them interest me. I think the ones I liked most so far are Handle with care and House rules

I can't say the whole series is good cause I haven't finished it, but I have like the detective Will Trent series from Karin Slaughter

A bag of marbles by Joseph Joffo

Born survivors by Wendy Holden

My undergrad was actually in English and Psych, I have counseling certification and my PGCE is for English and PSHE (Health/whatever tf it’s called in other places) and I also have a SEN certificate and work with special needs teens so yes that kind of thing actively interests me but I don’t know if I’d read it for “fun” per se because that always makes me think of work/studies etc. I actually teach history but I did that more out of passion so I think that’s why I’m more keen to read like history nonfiction just for fun whereas that other stuff always just feels like… work. And it’s funny you mention fostering because that’s something I think I may well want to do when I’m much older (specifically teens). I’ve read some of Cathy Glass’s books and did enjoy (or maybe the word enjoy is the wrong word but I found it interesting and she writes beautifully). I’ve heard of Torey and Casey but haven’t read their work.

I like a few of the writers/books you mention and a bunch more I haven’t ever read or heard of so I’m definitely going to check them out! Thank you so much!!

[de-cultura]

Un sac de billes, de Christian Duguay

           Projeté sur les grands écrans depuis le début du mois de janvier, ce magnifique film se présente comme le témoignage émouvant d’une période de l’histoire  française, que certains tentent d’estomper, mais dont il faut se rappeler, et surtout ne pas oublier. En effet, alors que la terrible autobiographie d’Hitler s’offre une nouvelle réédition, il serait peut-être temps de s’interroger, de se poser les bonnes questions, tirer, enfin, des conclusions de ce conflit mondial qui a marqué tant de familles, 39-45.

Dans le rôle d’un père débordant d’amour, et prêt à tout pour offrir le meilleur à ses enfants, Patrick Bruel -- jouant avec une grande justesse --  nous fait sourire, rire aux éclats, mais aussi glisser des larmes. Des scènes éprouvantes et dures sont reconstituées. Des déchirures sont revécues ici, séparations rencontrées par les familles, dont les enfants de religion juive, contraints de s’éloigner pour des questions de vie, de sécurité, espérant que la chance leur soit favorable...

Adapté au cinéma sous l’oeil attentif de Joseph Joffo (l’auteur du romain autobiographique), le film retrace durant 1h50 le périple périlleux de deux enfants à travers une France incertaine, divisée. Il retranscrit d’un trait réaliste, convaincu et époustouflant leur quotidien, criblé de dangers, de prises de risques, où ils jouent leur vie de peu, esclaves du hasard et d’une chance fragile et précieuse.

On prend soudain conscience de leur maturité précoce, forcée par les circonstances du conflit, contraints de grandir, confrontés à la dureté des hommes et de la vie, engloutis bien malgré eux dans ce tourbillon de bêtise humaine, d’injustices et de cruauté qui constitue la guerre.

A voir en famille pour apprendre, et réapprendre comment s’est construit notre pays, la France.
