Nicole Voss presents her novel “Peuple, garde ta cité sauve”

Verviers-born author Nicole Voss blends local heritage and a contemporary intrigue in a lively, sensitive writing style.

Back cover summary: On the banks of the Vesdre River stands the Bibliodrome, an architectural curiosity where Fancy Jonval works. Her life among books and readers is punctuated by the Monday evening meetings of the Confrérie Optimiste Dorêye Absolue. Not everyone is admitted to this society — joining requires a vow of silence about the city’s woolen past.
When Fancy is tasked with welcoming a French musician performing at the brotherhood’s annual festivities, she learns that he has a passion for old textile machinery. Swayed by his charm, she breaks her promise and guides him to the loom he desires. A brief but intense romance follows — and Fancy steps into a world she will never leave again: that of industrial leaders.
