Description
Seven-year-old Didier had already prepared to bury his sick father, but a miracle happened—and the father didn’t die. It should be said that miracles followed him his whole life: as a child, by a miracle, he managed to feed the family; as a young man, by a miracle, he didn’t become a murderer; by a miracle, he didn’t die in the war; and after it, by a miracle, he avoided being executed. He lived to ninety years old, and even after death he didn’t stop performing miracles. After burying his father properly, the son decided to write a book: to remember everything, to tell it all, and to admit everything. This book is about a miracle, about deception, about love. It’s a book about his father.
