A trip to the fairy tunes, sweet and caring.
In order of publication, this book is the first of Véronique Ovaldé. I had started with "And my heart transparent" I had already appreciated. Here we are in a different style. A real sweet and disturbing tale, as noted in the fourth Uncover '.
Sweet because it is the story of these women who live on Mount Thunder and have decided to do without men. Those men who are useless to them, who can not bear the sad season and "demands a lot and [...] gives very little." So they try with their children to fight against the gray disease rampant during the sad season by supporting and putting on their best colorful clothes to ward off the depression that seizes madous who indulge.
Worrying, because the sad mano Mount no longer able to fight against this disease gray, she has neither children nor men on the horizon. Until the day Jo giant appears in that community and finally gives him a smile. But rather than enjoy his new happiness, fear intrudes into it and will get him to do things that will destroy the fine balance of this mountain.
A true moment of escape. A real nice tale for adults.
