La commode aux tiroirs de couleurs

After her grandmother's death, a young woman inherits the one piece of furniture that fascinated her as a child: a curiously painted chest of drawers. Over the course of a single night, she opens its ten drawers one by one. Inside each, she discovers a treasured object that unravels the story of her grandmother Rita's life and reveals the secrets that shaped the destiny of four generations of women caught between the Spanish Civil War and the promise of a new life in France.

This story traces the painful exile and fierce resilience of a family of indelible women. It is a narrative of inherited memory, unspoken truths, and the complex bonds between mothers and daughters. The book explores how the past informs the present and how one woman's journey to understand her ancestor allows her to finally understand herself.
