About This Book

La rencontre entre deux anciens camarades dans un café sert de point de départ à une remontée de souvenirs d'enfance centrés sur une fille nommée Liette et un grand jardin ensoleillé. À travers descriptions de jeux, chansons et cérémonies enfantines, le récit explore la nostalgie, les transformations des existences et l'effet du temps sur les lieux et les personnes. Les échanges hésitants, les images de la propriété maintenant vendue et la mémoire d'une perte poignante mettent en relief la distance entre le passé enchanté et le présent ordinaire, alternant évocation intime et observation sociale.
