Les eaux mêlées (1955), which won the Goncourt Prize the same year, and which forms with The Spring Graft, a diptych titled Sons of Avrom, tells the story of a Jewish family that settled in France, and was bound by blood with a non-Jewish French family. Spanning three generations, the story describes the relationship the family developed with their new homeland.
One of Ikor's sons had joined a Zensect, against his father's wishes, and committed suicide. In response, Ikor founded, in 1981, the Centre contre les manipulations mentales (also known as the Centre Roger-Ikor), whose aim was to protect individuals from religious sects.[2][3]
