"Melanie Chappuis’ writing is powerful and sensitive. She has a remarkable talent for writing about what’s intimate. Ô vous, sœurs humaines pays hommage to the women of yesterday and today.
—France Culture

"A deeply moving collection about the women of the world in all their diversity and beauty."
—toutelaculture.com

Women, nothing but women, are portrayed from every point of view — their beauty, uniqueness, desire and anger.

In a series of short stories all about the relationships women have with one another in society, Mélanie Chappuis pays hommage to those she willingly calls her sisters in a writing style that is at times biting, subtle, militant, and cynical.

Whether your flight attendant, sister, step-mother, best friend, mother-in-law, or teacher, the relationships between women can be quite unique, in both the good and bad sense of the word.

And Mélanie Chappuis covers the entire spectrum in this short, entertaining tribute.

Mélanie Chappuis is also a journalist and the mother of two. She grew up in Latin America and Western Africa. She now livres in Geneva with her husband Philippe Chappuis aka ZEP, the author of bandes dessinées.
