It is with extreme delicacy Mathias tells a slice of his life in this autobiographical novel. How to deal with the death of his mother? How to live without it, with all these memories so present yet?
Even thirty years this loss is painful, and Mathias is like a little boy after the passage of the Reaper.
Nevertheless, through Giant Jack, a giant met in the parking lot of the hospital, Mathias will learn to live. This doctor ombrologie will lend him a piece of his shadow to compensate for the loss he has suffered.
This autobiographical novel is a gem: the back cover mentions Burton ... that's exactly it.
