Description
A brand new two-volume series in which Louise Tremblay d'Essiambre revisits a significant event in our recent history. Fall 2019. Five years after the death of her husband, Judith regains a taste for life thanks, among other things, to the presence of her grandchildren, especially Jasmin. She also volunteers in a retirement home. This new adventure, in addition to allowing her to create strong bonds, brings her joy and serenity. While her children consider, despite her good health, that she should go and rest in a retirement home, she is outraged by the increasing pressure being put on her. Why on earth would she give up her home and her hard-won autonomy? When the pandemic and confinement hit, everything changes. Isolated, Judith must survive the loneliness as well as the worry caused by the unspeakable chaos affecting her life, that of her family, but especially that of her friends in the residence. Some close ones will be of great help to him, others will reveal darker facets of human nature.... It will be okay, they said? Not for everyone. But tragedy sometimes gives way to an astonishing resilience and then the most meaningful relationships are formed.
