More about the book
Under the canvas of a small caravan, a young woman dies after a painful illness, leaving her little girl, Perrine, on the harsh pavement of Paris. The child must now navigate alone along paths filled with hostile figures: cantankerous old men, unyielding foremen, shrill scolds, and distrustful peasants. This vibrant yet absurd humanity ruminates on the bitterness of buried pains, creating a world haunted by the grimacing masks of the human carnival. Against this harsh and contrasting backdrop, the portrait of a brave and delicate little soul unfolds.
