Les filaos de Cau Thi Vai de Janine Dalmaz-Toroni est un " roman d'apprentissage " en quatre-vingt sept fragments. Ces fragments, chacun un court chapitre autonome, ou un poème, sont une mémoire vivante du sud du Vietnam que les colons français nommaient alors Cochinchine, un Vietnam vu par une enfant née dans la forêt de Cau Thi Vai en 1932, devenue adolescente à Saigon, jusqu'à son départ pour l'Europe en 1948, à seize ans. Chassée du paradis. Parce qu'elle a mordu au fruit de l'arbre de la connaissance ? Entre ces deux dates, à la faveur des souvenirs - la petite, le frère, les parents, les domestiques, les animaux, les paysages, les odeurs, les bruits, mais aussi les colons, la guerre, la lutte de libération vietnamienne - se dégage l'image profuse et sensuelle d'un pays et d'une expérience intime, indissociable de l'Histoire où ils sont pris. La beauté de l'écriture, son originalité et son élégance, font de cette histoire vécue une œuvre littéraire, où la recherche de la plus exacte vérité est en même temps la recherche de la forme la plus juste : une œuvre d'art. Marie-Noël Rio.
