About This Book

Dans une petite ville provinciale, la convalescence d'une femme et les visites médicales servent de prétexte à une observation des mœurs locales: consultations répétées, conversations mondaines, rivalités de prestige et routines familiales y mettent au jour hypocrisie, solidarités tièdes et habitudes sociales. L'auteur croque avec ironie discrète les rapports entre notables, praticiens et clergé, alternant scènes domestiques et réflexions sur l'amitié, la vanité et le jeu des apparences.
