Théa
by Mazarine PingeotUna novela atrapante que propone una fusión entre lo público y lo privado, y entre dos sociedades (la francesa y la argentina) tan distintas como parecidas. Una novela de amor, de política, de derechos humanos y de historia contemporánea. París, 1982: durante la dictadura, cientos de argentinos se refugian en la capital francesa con la memoria llena de imágenes macabras. La vida de Josèphe -22 años- cambia drásticamente al cruzarse con uno de ellos. Y apenas se produce el flechazo, el misterioso Antoine desaparece. Josèphe se pone, entonces, a investigar: ¿quién es Antoine? ¿Qué fue lo que le ocurrió? ¿Es cierto lo que leyó Josèphe sobre los desaparecidos y las "locas de Plaza de Mayo"? Mientras descubre el pasado del hombre que ama, la joven es remitida a su propia historia familiar, a los secretos y a los silencios de sus padres... Pronto, los estigmas de la guerra de Argelia empezarán a mezclarse con los de la dictadura argentina... Théa es una novela de aprendizaje ardiente, política y sensual que explora el amor y el horror del mundo. Mazarine Marie Pingeot nació el 18 de diciembre de 1974 en Aviñón, Francia. Docente, periodista y escritora, es conocida por ser la hija secreta del presidente François Mitterrand y Anne Pingeot, revelación que la prensa hizo pública en 1994 mediante una ruidosa cobertura mediática.
