TOMORROW WILL BE TENDER
By Pauline Perrignon
When her father dies, a young woman discovers his past as a trade unionist. An open letter from a daughter to her late father.
A daughter, a father. A tender yet stubborn man, who watches his family grow up and his hopes dashed. A man who believes in a France built on a generous left-wing model, with reforming trade-union-based policies and a modern utopic press, a man and his convictions slowly succumbing to melancholy. But he has a home with a wife and four daughters, and deep inside him he has a torch to pass on to the next generation. A love of music, literature and freedom. This text draws on a beautiful alchemy: frankly, gently and humorously, it reveals a daughter's appraisal of a father who died too soon. A spirited first novel.
Born in 1978, Pauline Perrignon rejected Paris for several years in favour of London, and returned without England's stiff upper lip but with a taste for self-deprecation and tea. She works as an editor by day, and dances and plays music by night.
