Memet

• Year of publication
• 2019

Lucie and her older sister are spending the summer at a campground resort. All the usual suspects are there: French, Dutch, and English vacationers, perfectly preserved in their summer routines. Among the regulars who return every year is Roman, an impetuous and adventurous boy often left to his own devices. He knows the area like the back of his hand. At ease in his own territory, nothing frightens him. But when he sees a new face—Lucie’s—he turns into a ferocious animal.In a single brief summer, the two children will learn to tame each other. Gradually, despite secrets and wounds, mutual curiosity will win out over suspicion.Theirs is a fleeting and turbulent encounter, deep in the heart of a forest yellowing in the summer heat.

Conjuring a sweet nostalgia for summer vacation, Memet is a subtle tale written by Isabella Cieli and brought to life in gentle colours and sensitive, graceful little touches by Noémie Marsily’s hand.
