Après la pluie

In Après la pluie, the reader is reunited with Louise, the heroine of Le Cahier bleu, at the opening of a photography exhibition by Victor. Before long, a stranger, Abel, joins them: he has just bought a photograph of his childhood friend, Tristan, taken in Florence. Having heard nothing from him for some time, Abel decides to track him down in Italy, convinced that Tristan is in danger. In this detective story, the reader is drawn along with Abel on an investigation with many twists and turns. André Juillard’s elegant linework and soft colour palette find the perfect setting in the landscapes of Tuscany, and Après la pluie takes its place among the classics, adding to its author’s splendid body of work.
