Max du Veuzit 
Mirages 

‘You are the daughter of a painter, a bohemian whom I rejected from my life because he was not worthy to remain my husband.’ Such is the revelation that Cylia learns from her mother’s lips on her twentieth birthday, remarried – to the Count of Liancourt!

His father! As Cylia would like to know him, to love him, whatever his wrongs and even his indifference towards him. Certainly, the Count of Liancourt was a second father to her. It was he who raised her, provided her with an education, but Cylia, driven by her filial love, rejected these considerations.

By chance, she will meet her real father, Mr. Férias, a renowned painter. But the meeting will be disappointing for Cylia, who will withdraw into her grief and want to break with the man she already considered her fiancé, the lawyer André Villaines.

Max du Veuzit, by his immense talent, was able to translate this painful problem of the teenage girl, an innocent victim of her parents’ disagreement.
