The first Rendez-vous de La Baule 2025 will welcome Thursday January 23 at 6 p.m. at the Jacques Chirac-Atlantia conference and festival center Amanda Sthers for her new novel The gestures (Stock).
On familiar ground
The author is present in France throughout the month of January for the release of this book. She otherwise lives in Los Angeles where her house was spared by the flames, unlike that of her ex-husband, Patrick Bruel.
In La Baule, she will be on familiar ground since she has regularly stayed there and where, in 2023, she was a juror of the Cinema and Film Music Festival.
Amanda Sthers is the author of several plays, children’s books and numerous novels such as The Holy Lands (Stock, 2010), of which she directed the film adaptation in 2019, Love letter without saying it (Grasset, 2020, Prix Roman France Télévisions) or even The Hanging Café (Grasset, 2022).
-A family fresco
The “pitch” of his latest novel: while Marc is preparing to adopt a child, his father dies.
To offer his son a piece of his history, he delves into the extraordinary life of Hippolyte, an exuberant taxi driver who became a fanciful archaeologist, and goes back to the love stories of his parents and grandparents, proceeding to an archeology of the intimate.
From Egypt to Paris via Greece and Italy, Amanda Sthers composes a family fresco on transmission and origin, populated by characters with incredible destinies.
Free entry but for the proper organization of this meeting, you are required to register in advance on the website www.lesrendezvousdelabaule.com. At the end of the meeting, Amanda Sthers will sign her books, with the help of the Oiseaux bookstore
