'A beacon of hope in a dark world' Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Pool
One night in November 2015, when Antoine Leiris was at home looking after his baby son, his wife Hélène was killed, along with 88 other people, at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris. Three days later, Antoine wrote an open letter to his wife’s killers on Facebook. He refused to be cowed or to let his baby son’s life be defined by their acts. ‘For as long as he lives, this little boy will insult you with his happiness and freedom,’ he wrote. Instantly, that short post caught fire and was shared thousands of times around the world. An extraordinary and heartbreaking memoir, You Will Not Have My Hate is a universal message of hope and resilience in our troubled times.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
You Will Not Have My Hate is a twelve-day diary. Twelve days that begin on 13 November, 2015, the day Hélène Muyal-Leiris and 88 others died in the attack on the Bataclan theatre in Paris. The book’s author is Antoine Leiris, Hélène’s widow and father of their 17-month-old son, who wrote an open letter to his wife’s killers on Facebook that quickly went viral. This searing account of his experiences and grief is just as devastating and resolutely hopeful.
