Riviera Award (Fnac de Nice) - Prize of Gironde-New Scriptures - Selection of the Goncourt of first novel, Emmanuel Robles Award.

"We can be stubbornly loyal to what no longer exists. A story of traces, dusty words. But it's another time that's told. Deleted distant landmarks and legends. For her first novel, Minh Tran Huy accompanies us with interrogations and internal pauses and heartbeats of Lan, a good young girl born in France of Vietnamese parents. Mingle closely literary impulses, his meeting with Nam, which turns into impossible love, and the discovery of her country of origin. It's very simply sincere, written with a touching proximity."
