Je pourrais dire que cest un recueil de nouvelles, que ce sont des histoires, quil y en a sept en tout et quelles commencent toutes a la premiere personne du singulier mais je ne le vois pas ainsi. Pour moi, ce ne sont pas des histoires et encore moins des personnages, ce sont des gens. De vraies gens.Ils parlent pour essayer dy voir clair, ils se devoilent, ils se confient, ils fendent larmure. Tous ny parviennent pas mais de les regarder essayer, deja, cela ma emue. Cest pretentieux de parler de ses propres personnages en avouant quils vous ont emue mais je vous le repete : pour moi ce ne sont pas des personnages, ce sont des gens, de reelles gens, de nouvelles gens, et cest eux que je vous confie aujourdhui.Anne Gavalda.
