Thérèse en mille morceaux
Un jour, à vingt-six ans, Thérèse se découvre investie par son double : voici l’heure de "l’autre Thérèse", si loin, si proche. Qui s’empare du corps de la jeune femme, lui en révèle les désirs, et la force, enfin, à ouvrir des yeux — qu’elle a soigneusement tenus fermés jusqu’alors — sur sa vie dans "une ville sans chemin" où "même les rêves ont une heure pour rentrer".
Récit d’une crise, récit d’une insurrection de l’âme, vibrant de la transe où manque naufrager sa narratrice possédée, Thérèse en mille morceaux dit la difficulté de naître à l’individualité dans une île déchirée, vers laquelle, de livre en livre, Lyonel Trouillot trace un brûlant chemin d’écriture.

Malgré les 3 étoiles j'ai aimé le livre de Trouillot ainsi que les personnages de Thérèse(s).
Les mots sont vifs et franc, le récit bien mené.
En revanche, je pensais probablement maladroitement pouvoir comprendre et percevoir l'origine, l'élément déclencheur de cette multiple personnalité, mais rien... Evidemment, j'imagine que ce n'était en rien le but de cet écrit!
