\n\tA propos du livre :
\n\tC’est l’histoire d’un enfant aux yeux noirs qui flottent, et s’échappent dans le vague, un enfant toujours allongé, aux joues douces et\n\trebondies, aux jambes translucides et veinées de bleu, au filet de voix haut, aux pieds recourbés et au palais creux, un bébé éternel, un\n\tenfant inadapté qui trace une frontière invisible entre sa famille et les autres. C’est l’histoire de sa place dans la maison cévenole où il\n\tnaît, au milieu de la nature puissante et des montagnes protectrices ; de sa place dans la fratrie et dans les enfances bouleversées. Celle\n\tde l’aîné qui fusionne avec l’enfant, qui, joue contre joue, attentionné et presque siamois, s’y attache, s’y abandonne et s’y perd. Celle\n\tde la cadette, en qui s’implante le dégoût et la colère, le rejet de l’enfant qui aspire la joie de ses parents et l’énergie de l’aîné.\n\tCelle du petit dernier qui vit dans l’ombre des fantômes familiaux tout en portant la renaissance d’un présent hors de la mémoire.
\n\tComme dans un conte, les pierres de la cour témoignent. Comme dans les contes, la force vient des enfants, de l’amour fou de l’aîné qui\n\tprotège, de la cadette révoltée qui rejettera le chagrin pour sauver la famille à la dérive. Du dernier qui saura réconcilier les histoires.
\n\tLa naissance d'un enfant handicapé racontée par sa fratrie.\n\n
