📗 Libro en francés UN FRÈRE

For nearly forty years, Édouard was present without truly being there—changed, consumed by an inner tyranny: schizophrenia. In Un frère, David Thomas traces the painful and tender journey of his older brother’s life, from the brutal onset of illness to fleeting moments of joy, and ultimately, to his death.
Through this deeply personal narrative, Thomas explores:
- The ravages of mental illness and its impact on family
- The fragile bond between siblings, shaped by love, guilt, and resilience
- The challenge of writing truthfully about someone who is both close and unknowable
“Pendant presque quarante ans, il aura été là sans plus vraiment être là. Lui, mais plus lui. Un autre.”
