Oscar et la dame rose by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a touching and emotional novel.
It tells the story of Oscar, a ten-year-old boy who is terminally ill and staying in a hospital. He befriends Mamie-Rose,
a kind elderly volunteer who writes him letters as if he were writing to God. Through their correspondence, Oscar explores life, love, and
death, finding comfort, courage, and meaning in his final days. The novel beautifully addresses themes of illness, mortality, hope, and the
power of human connection.
