A magnificent narrative which brings back to life the brother and sister, born three years apart yet very like twins, both superlatively gifted." - Le Monde"Sylvie Weil's memoir is simply one of the best books I've read in the past decade. At turns poignant, poetic, and deeply personal, Chez les Weil is a movingly honest exploration of her own identity and the exceptional influences that helped shape it, particularly her father, AndrÉ, and his sister, Simone, her grandparents and ancestors, and the Holocaust." - Paul LeClerc, president, The New York Public Library"The missing link in the story of AndrÉ and Simone Weil is Sylvie Weil, daughter of the great mathematician, niece of the legendary philosopher. In her memoirs, which are much more than that, the 'saints' are humanized, while the 'merely' personal is transformed into something rich and strange. One enters Sylvie's world to find AndrÉ and Simone, and discovers there a hidden treasure: Sylvie herself. No student of AndrÉ or Simone Weil can afford not to enter this captivating universe." - Palle Yourgrau, author of A World Without Time: The Forgotten Legacy of GÖdel and Einstein""At Home with AndrÉ and Simone Weil is an elegant and witty memoir-cum-reflection." - The Spectator
