Inhaltsangabe

384pages. 18x11x3cm. Poche. Chaque maison cache un secret, les murs ont des oreilles mais la bouche cousue. Il faut poser longtemps la joue contre leur sein, ccmme un docteur fiévreux, pour les entendre respirer. A Dun-le-Palestel, dans la Creuse, la maison de famille du narrateur en a si gros sur le c?ur et tant à dire qu'on va la confesser, pièce après pièce, l'écouter se raconter, souvenirs dérangés, vérités arrangées, les choses et les gens tels qu'ils furent, les échos et les ombres qu'il en reste. Elle finira bien par lâcher cequ'elle sait. Elle sait l'histoire d'un père qui, lui, avait choisi de se taire.

Reseña del editor

From the author of the 2 million+ copy, worldwide bestseller, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, an exquisite, funny and heartrending parallel story.

When Queenie Hennessy discovers that Harold Fry is walking the length of England to save her, and all she has to do is wait, she is shocked. Her note had explained she was dying. How can she wait?

A new volunteer at the hospice suggests that Queenie should write again; only this time she must tell Harold everything. In confessing to secrets she has hidden for twenty years, she will find atonement for the past. As the volunteer points out, ‘Even though you’ve done your travelling, you’re starting a new journey too.’

Queenie thought her first letter would be the end of the story. She was wrong. It was the beginning.

Told in simple, emotionally-honest prose, with a mischievous bite, this is a novel about the journey we all must take to learn who we are; it is about loving and letting go. And most of all it is about finding joy in unexpected places and at times we least expect.
