He recalls receiving a surprise call from none other than… Janette Bertrand, who confided that she had loved his new novel Les Belhumeur. A gesture that visibly moved him deeply, to the point where he made a very special promise regarding his writing.
A call from Janette and a big promise
“Yesterday, I got a call that made me incredibly happy. It was our national Janette Bertrand who phoned me unexpectedly to tell me she loved my novel “Les Belhumeur.” Honestly, the fact that she took time out of her day to read me moved me to the core! The most beautiful motivation to keep writing. It’s a promise, I’m going to write you another one, Janette,” he says.
Reactions to the post
In the comments, many emphasize that this is an extraordinary acknowledgment to receive such words from Janette. Others take the opportunity to tell him how much they enjoyed his new project as well.
“Very happy for you, Dany. I really enjoyed Les Belhumeur as well,” writes a netizen.
“Wow! A call that gives you wings and, at the same time, isn’t it a blessing? Oh yes indeed,” adds another.
Dany’s novel
For those who aren’t familiar with what the novel is about, here’s what you can expect:
«Here is the portrait of a model family. A father, a mother, a son, a daughter. Closer inspection, however, beneath the filters and the pretenses, this seemingly nuclear family is on the brink of explosion. That beautiful illusion of harmony shatters the day Julien, the son, decides to step out of the closet where his father has kept him his entire life. Daniel, the father, a stubborn man with outdated ideas for a long time, finds himself at a dead end. A pilgrimage into the loaded terrain of acceptance begins for him and the rest of the Belhumeur clan.»
