Avant mon père aussi était un enfant #[nn]

Published by Éditions Cornélius in 2011, this quietly moving work by Fanny Michaëlis carries a title that translates roughly as *Before, My Father Was Also a Child* — an immediate invitation into themes of memory, family, and the passage of time. The cover draws you in with a striking image of theatrical red curtains parting to reveal a small, solitary child seated in a warmly lit interior, framed like a scene glimpsed through a stage or a dream. It's an intimate, beautifully composed image that promises a story told with both tenderness and artistic care.
