Bonbon piment #[nn]

Jean-Claude Denis brings a sun-drenched, bittersweet atmosphere to this 1991 French-language album from L'Écho des Savanes/Albin Michel. The cover depicts a young blond man kneeling on a tropical beach, gently cradling a dark-haired woman lying in the sand, with a weathered coastal dwelling and palm trees shimmering in the hazy background. It's a quietly intimate, evocative image that promises a story steeped in heat, longing, and the languid pulse of an exotic shoreline.
