Reading of excerpts from the book ‘Poison... et autres petits délices’ in the presence of the author Anne-Marie Cibaud, who will answer questions from the audience.
March 1940. Paulette, 23, meets Jojo, a winegrower in the upper Rhône valley. He is in love, but she, one wonders, as it is obvious that she sees this encounter only as an opportunity to leave her parents. Who is Paulette, apart from being ambitious? Why is it so complicated to live with her? Does her childhood, which she describes as difficult, justify everything? Beware those who stand in the way of a destiny she claims to control! ...
The author: Anne-Marie Cibaud has already published a book entitled Enfant libre in 2013.
Poison... et autres petits délices, released in spring 2023, was awarded the Pierre-Jakez Hélias prize.
"The fact that I chose to set my novel in the heart of a vineyard stems from the esteem and respect I had for the work of my father-in-law, André Cibaud, who was as great a winegrower as he was a teacher.
Isn't the transmission of know-how essential to any profession, especially a manual one?"
Exhibition: Anne-Marie Cibaud's life journey and her marriage to Marcel, André's son, took her to Cheignieu la Balme, where she discovered Manicle, a renowned wine-growing hillside in Bugey.
Echoing this reading encounter, the exhibition Manicle de grangeon en grangeon, created in 2023 by the Association Chapelle Saint Claude, is presented.
