The first night

By Marc Levy, Kate Bignold, Lakshmi Ramakrishnan Iyer

Adventure stories

Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille

Summary

The legend goes that when you are in your mother’s womb, you know all about the mystery of creation and the origins of the world until the end of time, but when you are born, a messenger flies over your… cradle and puts a finger on your lips so that the secret of life will never escape. The finger erases your memory forever and leaves a mark, which all of us have above our upper lip - all of us, except me. The day I was born, the messenger forgot to come and see me, and I remember everything. Sequel to “The first day” (DC41463). Includes sex, violence and strong language. 2011. Uniform title: La première nuit.
