Karine Rondier, from short story to novel
In two years, he completed this suspense novel about a disappearance, on and off.
I started with the news. And then I wanted to get into the longer genre. We like it better: we can accompany the characters for longer. In fact, I wanted a story that made my students want to read. This isn’t a novel intended only for teenagers, but the suspense hooks them. Goal achieved: they loved it.
