The health of their father, a former mountain guide, is declining. After many years of absence, she dreads this return. This is the ultimate possibility, perhaps, of understanding who this father was who was so destructive, so difficult to love. The voices of this bruised family follow one another to express the ambivalence of feelings and the invisible violence, these tears which pursue a man until his death.
twilight.” A moving book about family wounds carried by the delicate and intimate writing of Gaëlle Josse.
