After Nice-Letters to my grandson

This first book by Jean-Claude Coviaux-Goubert offers an intimate window into grief and resilience after an unfathomable tragedy. It is a collection of touching letters written by a grandfather to his grandson Yanis, one of the youngest victims of the terrorist attack on the Promenade des Anglais on July 14, 2016.

These letters bear witness to the cracks in the person who writes them, to his doubts, his wounds, his inconsistencies, sometimes even his anger and his revolts that can show through behind the restraint he imposes on himself. And to his love. Above all, to his love. Shreds of life, dust of words, these texts are ultimately only the unfinished debris of vanished moments. But they remain the trace of this silent dialogue with the child to whom he owes so much.
