No et moi - Delphine Vigan (de) Best-seller - No et moi de Delphine de Vigan - 2015/08/17. No et moi BA VF. No & Me - Books - Richard and Judy. Judy This story is very unusual and exceptionally tender. It’s very French [naturally, since the author is French and it’s set in Paris] but what makes it so strongly Gallic is that the thirteen year old girl who narrates it does so in such a serious manner, socially responsible in a way we seem to have forgotten how to be in this country Anyway, our young heroine, Lou, befriends a homeless girl as part of a school project. And her own comfortable middle-class life is suddenly blown apart, as she sees the terrible privations endured by her new vagrant friend, No. But little Lou’s home-life is not so conventional after all. Lou takes No under her wing, even persuading her parents to let her live with them.

This is not really a story about homelessness; rather a quirky, charming tale about how a clever but naive young girl comes to terms with the harsh realities of the adult world. This is a deceptively simple story comprising less than 250 pages. Everything. That changes everything. No and Me: Delphine de Vigan: Bloomsbury Childrens.
