Plot summary
The children's home in Sèvres was kept by Yvonne and Roger Hagnauer, known to everyone as Goéland and Pingouin. They were intellectuals, anarchists, pacifists, trade unionists and feminists, and a couple of resistance fighters whom some wanted to believe were collaborators. They could not have children of their own, so hundreds of children passed through the house over the years, and it was a singular experiment in freedom, education and openness to the world. One of the children saved by the couple was the narrator's mother, who spent her whole childhood there, which makes part of the account the narrator's own story.
