TOMORROW WILL BE TENDER
By Pauline Perrignon
When her father dies, a young woman discovers his past as a trade unionist. An open letter from a daughter to her late father.
A daughter, a father. A tender yet stubborn man, who watches his family grow up and his hopes dashed. A man who believes in a France built on a generous left-wing model, with reforming trade-union-based policies and a modern utopic press, a man and his convictions slowly succumbing to melancholy. But he has a home with a wife and four daughters, and deep inside him he has a torch to pass on to the next generation. A love of music, literature and freedom. This text draws on a beautiful alchemy: frankly, gently and humorously, it reveals a daughter’s appraisal of a father who died too soon. A spirited first novel.
Born in 1978, Pauline Perrignon rejected Paris for several years in favour of London, and returned without England’s stiff upper lip but with a taste for self-deprecation and tea. She works as an editor by day, and dances and plays music by night.

Une fille, un père. Un homme tendre et têtu, qui voit sa famille grandir et ses espoirs s’éteindre. Lui qui croyait à une France construite sur une gauche généreuse, sur un syndicalisme réformateur, une presse moderne et utopique, cet homme de convictions voit la mélancolie le gagner. Mais il a un foyer où vivent sa femme et ses quatre filles, et tout au fond de lui, il transmet le flambeau à la nouvelle génération. L’amour de la musique, des lettres, de la liberté. Ce texte repose sur une belle alchimie : il expose avec franchise, humour et douceur le regard d’une fille sur son père parti trop tôt. Un premier roman remuant.
