When the past is knocking on the door, even the simplest words can turn your whole life around. "Tata" is a novel for those who are looking for warmth, support and faith in the best. This story will stay with you for a long time and remind you that sometimes the most important thing is just to be there. The long-awaited novel by Valerie Perrin, the most beloved French writer, translated into several languages. Tata is (emphasis on the last syllable) in French, an affectionate and informal address to a native aunt. It is often used by children and adults to emphasize a special close bond and express the power of love. "Your aunt has passed away," the policeman's voice says. But Agnes understands: It's impossible, because Colette died three years ago. A mistake? A coincidence of names?To identify the body, Agnes returns to a small town in Burgundy, which she left many years ago, but instead of receiving answers, she receives new questions. Why did the stranger leave dictaphone recordings as a testament? Why are they addressed to Agnes? And if Colette really only died now, who has been buried in the cemetery all these years?I won't rush it. I'll listen a little bit at a time. I'll close my eyes and take the chance. Let the cassettes be like a book that you don't want to swallow, but savor. "The novel intrigues from the first to the last page, making you eagerly want to find out what Aunt Colette was hiding. Perrin invites you on a journey filled with drama, family secrets and unexpected discoveries. And it will not leave anyone indifferent, neither the heroine nor the readers." — Lera Chebitko, editor of the Burning Hut media.
