Following a near fatal accident, a woman welcomes her momentarily disabled and mute husband. There followed a long monologue in which one learns the bitter life together that both have conducted. He no longer loves, loves another, she, still in love or obsessed with her submission, knows and imagine all sorts of things: causes, such a situation reasons, opportunities, consequences at such an event, try to keep it, imagine a second start, trying to change fate, but it is an idea. That will not happen. Recovered, her husband leave. She knows. His younger son told her ... Here is a novel that provides a huge happiness interpretation. Lethargic phrases, long, interminable, those of the last breath, supported by crutches expressions (which is invalid?) That advance the discourse without it can go too far. He stomps, comes and goes, the words are repeated in a syntax that shows her underwear. Heroin, the narrator, learned to finish and Laurent Mauvignier learns to finish his sentences .... This book is sublime.
