Il fallait me croire sur parole quand je servais cette fable à mes relations de vacances, à mes amis de passage. The story begins with his unusual quirk, as a child, of having not an imaginary friend, but an imaginary brother:įils unique, j’ai longtemps eu un frère. The autobiographical novel is about the terrible family secret Philippe uncovers during his childhood. It won the Prix Goncourt des lycéens when it was published (France’s only literary prize to be awarded by a panel of sixth-formers), and has since been made into a film by Claude Miller. If you’re looking to read a novel in French that’s fairly short and accessible, but a serious piece of literature that will stay with you long after you finish it, then Philippe Grimbert’s Un secret would be a good choice.
