"You can't imagine the pleasure we derive from dissecting your faults and vices when we are among women. It is our alienation, our masochistic addiction, our confused and confused revenge, our bitter consolation and our grieving joy. that, in spite of our bravado, we are still quite subservient. Our noisy professions of independence? Boasting!
Here, a battered woman who dares everything to escape the company of men.
There, a pitiful old school principal who remembers a petty revenge taken on life.
Here again, a female choir which confides bloody sections of its family history, between slavery, marooning and duty of memory ...
No matter the time, everyone struggles for their freedom, to get rid of a tied up, thwarted destiny, or a disappointed love, and, sometimes, to accept their own end.
This collection of short stories, carried by a realistic and poetic, lyrical and unique language, depicts these pieces of life, like broken tiles which each, in their own way, offers a window on the world. "(Presentation of
