Février 1927. Le Tout-Paris assiste aux obsèques de Marcel Péricourt. Sa fille, Madeleine, doit prendre la tête de l'empire financier dont elle est l'héritière, mais le destin en décide autrement. Son fils, Paul, d'un geste inattendu et tragique, va placer Madeleine sur le chemin de la ruine et du déclassement.
Face à l'adversité des hommes, à la cupidité de son époque, à la corruption de son milieu et à l'ambition de son entourage, Madeleine devra déployer des trésors d'intelligence, d'énergie mais aussi de machiavélisme pour survivre et reconstruire sa vie. Tâche d'autant plus difficile dans une France qui observe, impuissante, les premières couleurs de l'incendie qui va ravager l'Europe.
Couleurs de l'incendie est le deuxième volet de la trilogie inaugurée avec Au revoir là-haut, prix Goncourt 2013, où l'on retrouve l'extraordinaire talent de Pierre Lemaitre.

Work Description
What is done being more to do, one should automatically award the Goncourt prize to experienced writers. They would be allowed to breathe freely. Pierre Lemaitre is unleashed in Couleurs de l'incendie, which follows the Au revoir là-haut (Goncourt 2013) and is more successful, more fun. No importance if we have not read the previous book, or if we have forgotten the beginning of the adventures of the Péricourt family. The author takes care of the presentations with a certain tact towards us: "The readers who know Madeleine know that she had never been very pretty."Madeleine Péricourt pulls all the strings of this novel which counts beautiful ones. When the story begins, in 1927, the financial and political elite prepares to bury Marcel Péricourt, banker. The President of the Republic is past, the "funeral car is ready" in the courtyard of the mansion, when the son of Madeleine, Paul, 7 years, flows from the second floor and crashes on the coffin of his grand-father.--Translation by Liberation.
