Stay

Exquisite Corpse In a chalet in the middle of the mountains, a woman and her lover meet in secret, without his wife being aware. Both live an idyll, a parenthesis out of time. The lover dies of a heart attack within seconds. The narrator finds herself alone with the lifeless body of her lover. She decides to keep the body and, to overcome her grief and the violence of the event, begins to write letters to the wife and tells her this unfaithful love story. A sentimental initiation Near the inert body of the one she loved so much, all her sentimental life resurfaces: the men she met, those who hurt her or abused her. She thinks back to her failures, until she met this lover who revealed her. For the first time, she learned to love. Now that nothing matters to him, a single objective gives him the courage to live: to offer him the most beautiful of burials. A new facet of Adeline Dieudonné After the detour through the choral story with Kérozène, the author of The real life returns to the novel. Adeline Dieudonné is less fierce, less surreal, but more touching, loving.
