Reviews
“Thus, whether Lucette Desvignes is reviving and enshrining in words a vanishing Burgundy that “ought not to get lost,” as she put it in 1995, or probing the inner workings of her genuinely human characters, whether she is bringing back to life picturesque villagers of olden times or voicing the innermost “ruminations” of contemporaries in the throes of conceiving and molding their brittle lives, she is always at the very core of the human condition, with all the compassionate insight of a full-fledged humanist.”
