Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from To Tell You the Truth She was born in Chauville-le-Vieux. Her mother gave piano lessons at the local Lycee de Jeunes Filles, and her father had been "professeur de violon" at the little Conservatoire. Music was her destiny. As a hollow-eyed, stunted child, who should have been romping in the unfrequented park, she had been doomed to hours of piano practice in the stuffy salon, where during eight months of the year a window was never opened for longer than it took to shake out the rug. Her name was Marie Lamande. She had accepted her fate passively. If it had not been scales and exercises that made a prisoner of her, she recognized that it would have been fractions, or zoology. In France, schools actually educate, but few children have a childhood. On the first day of a term, when the wan girls reassemble, they sometimes ask one another - curious to hear what novelty the "holidays" may have yielded, amid the homework - " Did you have a little promenade during the vacances?"
