My Name Is Marcel

Geneva, 1920

Born in Geneva, Marcel enters a life that will carry him far from the place of his birth. Across changing countries, cultures and seasons, he searches for love, purpose and somewhere he might finally belong.

From the brightness of childhood to the choices and compromises of adulthood, Marcel carries the memory of everyone he has loved and everything he has been forced to leave behind.

My Name Is Marcel is an intimate novel about memory, exile, family and belonging—and the quiet ways in which the places we lose continue to live within us.

Marcel carries the memory of everyone he has loved and everything he has been forced to leave behind.
