"It’s midnight, in France, and in Florence, the trees never stop growing, and I’m not feeling well."

Marco is ill. The doctor says that a tree is growing inside his body. Fortunately, Marco is strong. Not as strong as Mom or Hawkeye, the superhero, but stronger than his big brother, Antoine, who can barely lift his dumbbells.

But while the tree was very small at first, it now takes up almost all the space. The hospital stays are getting longer, and all Marco has left to brighten his days are his memories. Winter in Florence, mom’s indigestible quiches, Axel’s poems, his brother’s (nonexistent) love story with France, the girl with the country name...

Michaël Uras was born in 1977. Of Sardinian origin on his father’s side, he grew up in Saône-et-Loire and is now a professor of modern literature. He is the author of Chercher Proust (finalist for the Prix de l’Inaperçu 2013), Nos souvenirs flottent dans une mare poisseuse, Aux petits mots les grands remèdes, La Maison à droite de celle de ma grand-mère (whose rights have been sold in many countries), and L’Iguane de Mona.
