Two years ago, upon discovering “A child without history” (Actes Sud), the uncompromising book by Minh Tran Huy dedicated to his son Paul, this very different eldest, I felt a whirlwind of emotions in the face of his courage and resilience.
I was touched by the sincerity and modesty that emanated from it.
His latest book, “Your Brother”
,
is beautifully written and just as moving.
The author is now speaking to her youngest son, three-year-old Serge.
Page after page, she tells him about her older brother, this “Polo” who is not like the others, because he has severe autism, which Serge cannot yet understand.
She recounts her love for her two children and the obstacle course of raising a disabled child in a world that rejects him.
