Relizane, pendant la guerre d’Algérie. Lorsqu’en pleine nuit, on frappe à la porte, Marcel, le grand-père d’Olivia Elkaim, craint pour sa vie et celles de sa femme et de leurs deux enfants. On lui enfile une cagoule sur la tête, il est jeté dans un camion et emmené dans le désert. Va-t-il être condamné à mort ou gracié ? Il revient sain et sauf à Relizane trois jours plus tard, et ses proches se demandent quel est le secret de ce sauf-conduit. A quoi a-t-il collaboré ? Quels gages a-t-il donné et à qui ? Viviane, son épouse, ses frères, sa mère, ses voisins, tous questionnent le tailleur juif. Mais il garde le silence. Quand un jeune apprenti arabe se présente devant son échoppe, Marcel comprend que tôt ou tard, il lui faudra quitter son pays natal.

Après ce début d’une folle intensité romanesque, Olivia Elkaim retrace l’histoire de sa famille, l’exil des siens, leur arrachement à cette terre africaine, et leur fuite chaotique vers une France où rien ne les attend - ni confort, ni sympathie, ni même aucune aide administrative.

Ces valeureux que le soleil caressait il y a peu, deviennent des réprouvés qui ne connaîtront que l’ombre d’une cave humide à Angers. Les grands-parents d’Olivia Elkaim, Viviane et Marcel, sont deux magnifiques personnages, entre Albert Cohen et Anna Magnani, qui ne cesseront de rêver d’échapper à cette triste France.

Au-delà de tout ce que nous savons du retour d’une famille pied-noire en métropole, au-delà du drame humain, familial, politique, souvent commenté par les historiens, Olivia Elkaim explore sa part algérienne, juive, lyrique, à la fois enchantée et hantée, que son père Pierre avait tenté en vain de lui transmettre.
Par ce livre qui rend hommage à ses ancêtres, et à travers la photographie jaunie d’une grand-tante, retrouvée par hasard dans le cimetière juif de Relizane, elle se révèle aussi à elle-même.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.
