Excellent lvre - court mais bon, qui nous plonge dans les affres de l'émigration au XIXème siècle et dans la vie suisse à la fois, mais aussi dans la vie politique internationale de l'époque. C'est un roman bien sûr, mais on se surprendt presque à vouloir que ce soit une histoire vraie. Chaudement conseillé !!!
