"Paula Amor Poniatowska is a privileged witness of her time, as she has known how to fully live each of the moments of her 88 years. "No me olvides" ("Forget-Me-Not") is both a testimony and a request. In it appear the most conspicuous characters from both sides of the Atlantic portrayed by the sharp gaze of the author. Prefaced and translated from French and English by her daughter, the great Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska, "Nomeolvides" is not only a love chronicle, but also the story of some of the most difficult moments of our century, such as World War II, whose chronicle turns poignant in the war diary of Captain Jean Poniatowski. The relationship of aristocratic life in Mexico and France passes from frivolity to religious witness and philosophical reflection. A book that will leave no one indifferent."
