The Brelan sisters
François VALLEJO
Foreign rights : Germany (Aufbau Verlag) - Italy (Del Vecchio Editore)
Judith, Marthe and Sabine: the Brelan girls are three inseparable sisters. Shortly after the Second World War, their father dies, leaving them on their own in the beautiful designer house he conceived. United by a fierce feeling of fraternity – it seems they don’t need to talk, one finishing the sentence of the other –, the Brelan sisters convince the judge to emancipate them.
Through these three characters, François Vallejo gives a brilliant portray of woman’s condition as it emerges in its modern aspect: Marthe is the devoted mother – to her sisters –, Sabine is the successful businesswoman and Judith is the idealistic childwoman.
