It was thanks to her long-standing close relationship with François Hollande that Cécile Amar was able, with both subtlety and discretion, to observe the metamorphosis of a First Secretary of the Socialist Party into President of the Republic. She followed him, gathered his confidences, noted his witty remarks, and gauged his (increasingly frequent) outbursts of anger and his ever-present sense of humor. The result is a nuanced, highly detailed portrait, alternating between cruelty and indulgence.
