Il y a les petites peurs inexplicables, la famille recomposée, les amitiés qui font rire et qui traînent leur lot de vieilles rancunes. Geneviève Brisac observe le tout, dans un recueil d’histoires a priori sans lien apparent. Mais très vite, les destins se recoupent : l’auteur jette sur ses héros un regard mordant et touchant.
Partant de microscopiques conflits qui nous gâchent la vie, elle trouve matière à rire, pas avec distance, mais avec une façon bien à elle de montrer qu’elle est proche de ses modèles, complice et jamais juge.
