Gayle Forman : “If I stay”
Dear Gayle,
I just finished your book and you won’t be surprised if I tell you it made me cry.
When staying in our hotel here in Paris, you were kind enough as to offer us your book with a dedicacion, and I promised I would read it. I must say I was a bit suspicious : a Best Seller is always “suspect” in France !
But I read your novel in “one breath”, I just could not leave it, like Céline your charming “french fan” that came all the way from Bordeaux to meet you.
More than the moving dilemna of you heroïne in coma (should I stay or should I go) after loosing her family in this car accident. What deeply moved me is the description full of tact and poetry that you made of all these moments of her life.
Your style is simple, direct, clear like crystal juts like Mia your young heroïne. And it’s all about LOVE !
You know what ? I am now going to give the book to my son 14 years old. He is going to tell me that he did not cry, but you and me know it’s not true.
If I stay
