"Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy", by David Hury.

The new historical fiction Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy of French writer, journalist and photographer David Hury is now published by Riveneuve Editions (Paris, 2024).

After Davids former novel Mustapha s'en va-t-en guerre, this is definitly a book to read for those interested in the former French colonial era.

You can read more about the book on the website of the author.

Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy is a great family saga, with its secrets, its greatness and its smallness. A extensive historical fresco retracing a decade of war and German occupation, of collaboration, raids and resistance, right up to the discovery of the death camps and the first disillusioned years of the post-war period.

Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy is the result of 3 years rigorous research into the archives of the army, the police, newspapers and the Shoah Memorial, as well as with the last remaining witnesses, reviewed by Shoah historian Renée Poznanski.
