Seven-year-old Didier was already preparing to bury his sick father, but a miracle happened and his father did not die. It must be said that miracles haunted him all his life: in childhood he miraculously fed his family, in his youth he miraculously avoided becoming a murderer, miraculously did not die in the war, and after it miraculously escaped execution. He lived to be ninety years old and even after death did not stop working miracles. Having buried his father for real, the son decided to write a book, remember everything, tell everything and confess everything. This is a book about a miracle, about deception, about love. This is a book about his father. Didier van Covelaert is a famous French writer, laureate of the Prix Goncourt, playwright and director. His subtle, touching and ironic novels have long won the hearts of Russian readers. In the autobiography “My Real Father” there is nothing but the truth, although it is not easy to believe.
