Description
Lili's life has always been a long, quiet river. Since her adolescence, she has been making her own way without considering any other option than success. But that was without taking into account the upheavals of existence. From one day to the next, everything goes to hell. She finds herself homeless and without points of reference after a romantic breakup. While she is trying to rebuild herself, the return of a childhood friend turns everything upside down. When you are adrift, you have to take a breath and, perhaps, sink to the bottom in order to rise again better. You never knew me, Lili. I'm not even sure you know yourself. Come on, be brave. Have a good evening! He left me there, on the sidewalk, dazed, while I watched him walk away with his hands in his pockets. I felt like trash, and I vaguely wondered if the garbage collection was taking place the next morning. In which case, I could lie down on the mountain of garbage bags that littered the side of the street, not far away, and stay there until my bones were crushed in the garbage truck in the early morning. In any case, my heart was already crushed. . And stop feeling sorry for yourself! he shouted from the corner of the street, without even turning around. . I really thought I hated him. . Marie Paquet constantly has stories and characters in her head. Although she left her native Saguenay a long time ago, it is now the river that accompanies and inspires her every day. In this sixth novel, she wanted to convey the calming effect that water has always had on her.
