Lancement de Lady Diana, ma mère et moi - Laura Tinard

Laura Tinard publishes her 2nd novel, "Lady Diana, my mother and I", following her acclaimed "I Lost My Novel", released by Éditions du Seuil in 2022. Summer 1997. While Lady Diana is seen with her lover on the French Riviera, under the watchful eye of the entire world, Cindy Mastriani, a single mother, dreams of another life. Whimsical and fragile, she bears an unsettling resemblance to the Princess, to the point of losing herself in it. When she meets a wealthy Spaniard living on a yacht in the port of Nice, everything spirals out of control. Cindy drags her daughter Rebecca into a fantasized royal existence; everyone plays their part, and Rebecca fuels her mother's dream by becoming the hidden child of the English crown. But at the end of August, Lady Diana's death in a Parisian tunnel brutally shatters their illusion. With humor and tenderness, Laura Tinard delivers a deeply contemporary fable, holding up a mirror to our modern world and revealing its obsession with image and celebrity.
