Description

In October 1957, Hugues Vassal, a young news photographer, is sent to Dijon to cover a performance there by Edith Piaf. However, through chance r destiny, what was only ever meant to be a simple professional encounter would soon become a profound friendship. The young reporter, who became her confidant and loyal friend, offers a respectful and humble recollection of the both tragic and stellar journey of this brilliant artist whose voice could express the greatest of joys, but also the suffering of the human soul. “[...] The seven years I spent at Edith’s side were not to be consigned to the past, but instead represented a prelude to an adventure which I recount over the pages of this work. A great human adventure that I know was, is and will be shared, to one extent or another, by all of those who, famous or otherwise, carry within them the living memory of a lady whose greatest power was that of transfiguration"Hugues Vassal
