Praise for Remnants : "" Le drap blanc is a mausoleum... built from fragments and miscellaneous moments. Words and actions that could have been different, smells, dreams and daydreams; retellings and family dialogues recounted as though in shadow playshe has collected it all here... Céline Huyghebaert brings us a book that leaves a striking, lasting impression."" Xavier Houssin, Le Monde des Livres ( Le Monde , France)
