On the night of 13 November 2015, the attacks on the Bataclan, the Stade de France and restaurant terraces of eastern Paris shook the entire world, leaving 131 dead, several hundred wounded and countless families in mourning.
We Still Have Words is a conversation between two men whose lives were forever altered by the events of that terrible night: George Salines, father of Lola, a young publishing executive, who was killed at the Bataclan, and Azdyne Amimour, father of Samy, a former bus driver and one of the three attackers responsible for her death. they met in February 2017 at Amomour's request, and an unprecedented, uncompromising and deeply moving dialogue emerged between them. With mutual curiosity, they talk about their children (both dead at the age of twenty-eight) and retrace the individual journeys that converged that terrible autumn night. Book cover.
