Sarah had abandoned her sixteen years earlier when they were living alone by a river. Now suffering from Alzheimer's, Sarah is unable to answer Gretel's questions. It will be up to the girl to reconstruct her own past, if she can and if she wants to. Her story is impossible to separate from some old, buried shadows: what really happened by the river, and how much of it is imagination?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more Lire la critique-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main subject of Daisy Johnson's first novel is memory. It's not a long, quiet river - not that the narrator dislikes it. So it's hard to come up with a structured review following the story's thread: it eludes us, confuses us, and that's probably its essence. The book opens with the question of identity, and more specifically, the discovery of the past of the main character, Gretel. She talks about it this way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abEven now, I don't know where to start. Memory isn't linear, it works in disconcerting circles that appear, then fade away. Sometimes I'm on the verge of violence. If you were still the woman you were sixteen years ago, I think I'd be capable of it: of hitting you to bring out the truth.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette violence sera \u00e9galement l\u2019un des axes de la reconstruction de l\u2019histoire de la protagoniste. R\u00e9volt\u00e9e, elle l\u2019est certainement. Mais elle est aussi prisonni\u00e8re d\u2019un amour pour sa m\u00e8re qu\u2019elle \u00e9prouve malgr\u00e9 elle et d&rsquo;un besoin de comprendre son pass\u00e9. Ce dernier jaillira devant ses yeux par bribes, qu&rsquo;elle s&#8217;empressera de raconter \u00e0 sa m\u00e8re \u00e0 la deuxi\u00e8me personne du singulier: tout au long du livre, elle s\u2019adressera \u00e0 sa m\u00e8re, nous signifiant ainsi que Sarah est bien au centre de l\u2019histoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Delicious curls <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you will have gathered, this work is full of contradictory feelings, flashbacks - like the circles at the beginning of the story - and even fantastical elements. The latter remind readers that they are dealing with childhood memories. Implanted in Gretel's memory by her mother, they also show better than any speech that Sarah never really grew up, chained as she is to her past. That's why she's so egocentric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si nous sommes tenus par un certain suspense, le plaisir de lire ce livre d\u00e9coule surtout du plaisir de se laisser inonder par les souvenirs de Gretel. Les id\u00e9es paraissent souvent jet\u00e9es sur le papier, comme s&rsquo;il s&rsquo;agissait de nos propres r\u00e9flexions. On se d\u00e9lecte de suivre des \u00e9l\u00e9ments qui n\u2019ont parfois pas de lien entre eux, oubliant tout contr\u00f4le sur l\u2019histoire et ne cherchant plus r\u00e9ellement \u00e0 aligner ces \u00e9clats de m\u00e9moire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abOne day, you told me that those who grow up surrounded by water are different from the others. What do you mean by that? I say. But you don't answer, or you've forgotten that you started a sentence. This idea continues to haunt me in the still night: we are determined by the landscape, our lives are mapped out according to hills, rivers and trees.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aesthetic pleasure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The author's magnificent pen doesn't seem to have been damaged by the translation. Her sentences, sometimes short, sometimes long, are easy to follow. Their rhythm is not jerked by quotation marks introducing the dialogue: everything happens in the narrator's head, including the exchanges between the characters. Harmoniously, every word in this book has been carefully selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abFor a living, I was revising a dictionary. I had been working all week on <em>Break<\/em>. Il y avait des fiches \u00e9tal\u00e9es partout sur mon bureau, jusque par terre. Ce mot \u00e9tait tra\u00eetre, il refusait de se laisser enfermer dans une d\u00e9finition simple. C\u2019\u00e9taient mes pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s. Ils avaient un petit c\u00f4t\u00e9 obs\u00e9dant, \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re d\u2019un air qui trotte dans la t\u00eate. (\u2026) J&rsquo;ai essay\u00e9 de travailler encore un peu. <em>Break. Break into a thousand pieces. Make unusable. <\/em>I'll see you the next morning at the morgue. <em>Terror<\/em>, That's the word that best expresses my feelings.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daisy Johnson decided to justify this characteristic with her main character's love of words: Gretel is a lexicographer. Her function is inherent to her personality; she sometimes refers to her profession to explain some of her qualities, stating that lexicographers are like this or like that, as if in spite of themselves. As well as being an aesthetic pleasure, this enjoyable game also says a lot about determinism, another of the story's underlying themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abI want to scream that you chose to abandon me, that no one forced you to, that you can't hide behind your bad choices by calling it fate, determinism or god. But sometimes, I wonder if you're not right, if our choices aren't all remnants of previous decisions. Shrapnel from our previous actions.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I dare not tell you more, for fear of spoiling your discovery. I can only recommend this book. Certain themes and their treatment may remind you, as they do me, of the style of Wajdi Mouawad. Here's hoping that Daisy Johnson's work is as successful and, above all, that it heralds many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Write to the author: <\/em><a href=\"mailto:lauriane.pipoz@leregardlibre.com\"><em>lauriane.pipoz@leregardlibre.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daisy Johnson<br><\/strong><em><strong>Everything that overwhelms us<\/strong><\/em><strong><br>Stock<br>2019<br>323 pages<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Les bouquins du mardi &#8211; Lauriane Pipoz Gretel, la trentaine, vient de retrouver sa m\u00e8re Sarah.
