Description
Twenty-one-year-old Justine and her cousin Jules live with their grandmother and grandfather because their parents died together in a car accident. Justine works as a caregiver at the Hortenzie nursing home and loves old people above all else. She is particularly enchanted by nearly one-hundred-year-old Hélene, who has always dreamed of learning to read. Justine and Hélene soon become friends, confiding in each other about what has happened in their lives and what is happening right now, discovering things that neither would have ever seen without the other. Thanks to Hélene, Justine also begins to search for the secrets hidden in her own past. A captivatingly melancholic novel about all past, present, hidden, and beautifully lived loves, awarded thirteen literary prizes, including the national Lions de littérature award in 2016, the Chronos award in 2016, and the Lire Élire award in 2016.
