Every month in collaboration with the Michel Bussi media library from Gournay-en-Bray (Seine-Maritime), we offer you a selection of books. For this month of October 2024, here is the Top 4 to borrow from the media library. There is something for all tastes and ages.

Youth novel. Rita by Marie Pavlenko

It is the story of a young girl, aged 16, who is traced by her loved ones.

Rita, a provisional name chosen like all the other first names of the other people interviewed, is a beautiful young girl who, from a young age, experienced the suicide of her father, the depression of her mother, the education of her young sisters. and above all the financial concerns and those of hunger in our society.

We learn all this through the interrogations of his friends and his philosophy professor.

“if their stories tell of love, desire, friendship, each one also admits to missing out on the drama.

Nobody saw anything coming,” notes the media library manager. A moving novel about precariousness.

Movie. Other people’s children by Rebecca Zlotowski

Rachel, a young woman, a French teacher, in her forties, begins a new love affair with Ali.

He is an automobile designer, he is divorced and has a little daughter Leila, 4 and a half years old.

Little by little, Rachel wants to meet Ali’s daughter. She always wanted to not have children, either because it wasn’t the right time, or she didn’t want them, or she didn’t have the right father. Here, with Ali, she feels ready but in her forties, it’s not so easy to get pregnant…

“A very beautiful story, sublimated by Virginie Efira and Roschdy Zemwhere we completely understand what Rachel can feel both in her relationship with others, in her relationship with the little girl” notes Pauline Laurelli.

Games. My first orchard

Cooperation game from 2 years old: in the orchard, you have to collect all the fruits before the crow comes and steals them! From 1 to 4 players. We learn to play together, to assimilate colors and objects.

And on top of that, the game’s manufacturing is magnificent.

Theater play. Close to Laurent Mauvignier

Here is a play behind closed doors around a family who finds themselves following the release of their son Yoann. Except that this family does not communicate, several taboo subjects arise.

The father, Didier, suffers from lung cancer, Yoann could have had more years in prison, Malou cannot have children… A play full of humor, always as well written, Laurent Mauvignier takes us into a contemporary room.

All of the works are available free of charge at the Gournay-en-Bray media library, available at the Michel Bussi media library.
