Summary:
"We write to understand what we do not understand. When I wrote Life of my neighbor , my heroine told me about her mother. She told me her words, she spoke of her actions. The love of a mother. I measured my ignorance in this area. My mother did not know the words or the gestures. So I went in the footsteps of a little Greek and Armenian girl and her mother, an oriental and stateless dancer, in Paris in the 1920s. My mother did not want to know anything about her past. It was necessary that I investigate and that I invent it. That I find the words to find it. It is this book, The sorrow of loving.--B. Grasset.
