Ma reine de Jean-Baptiste Andréa | Folio (French edition)

My Queen is a novel by Jean-Baptiste Andréa, published in the Folio collection. This book immerses us in the summer of 1965, where we follow the story of Shell, a young boy who decides to run away from the gas station where he grew up with his parents. On the plateau overlooking the Asse valley, Shell finds himself confronted by silence and wild nature, until he meets Viviane, an enigmatic girl who changes his life forever.

With Viviane, everything seems possible. She embodies a universe where imagination has no limits, and for the first time, Shell feels alive and accepted. Viviane becomes the queen of his world, and Shell, out of love and play, follows her without question. However, this boundless devotion leads him much further than he ever imagined.

This novel is an ode to childhood, innocence, and the power of imagination. Jean-Baptiste Andréa succeeds in capturing the emotions of his main character with great sensitivity, offering the reader an unforgettable literary experience. The author's style, both subtle and poetic, takes us on a deep inner journey where every word resonates with particular intensity.
