Madame Roman by Thyde Monnier

La vie de tout le monde, de tous les jours, dans un petit bourg provençal, a été celle de Madame Roman. Ou du moins elle en a eu les apparences. Qui peut connaître les cœurs ? Le silence en est maître. Il faut traverser bien des écorces pour les sonder et souvent alors, on est surpris de ce qu'on y découvre.

Ces pages sont l'histoire d'une simple vie de vieille paysanne qui va mourir et qui, seule, assise auprès de la porte de son étroite maison campagnarde, laisse tourner en son show more souvenir, le film de son existence. show less
