Debout dans lorage
Description:
Mathilde, a literary columnist in her forties, sees her life turned upside down when she meets Jacqueline, an old lady as fascinating as she is unpleasant. What begins as a simple helping hand after a bad fall will turn into a friendship as deep as it is improbable. Mathilde thought she would clear her conscience and shake off her depression by doing small tasks for Jacqueline; instead, Jacqueline asks her to assist her in her audacious writing project on the resilience of animals. Why is she so keen to talk about the intelligence of octopuses, the resistance of tardigrades and the music of elephants? Why did she paint in large letters above her bed "Transforming tragedy into triumph"? Mathilde will gradually discover the dramas that have forged Jacqueline's past, which will force her to confront her own secrets. A poignant novel about friendship, grief, the saving power of art, and the new beginnings that we offer sometimes life... or that we offer to ourselves"--Publisher's website
