An astonishing mess, surrounded by kennels. Geneviève and Francis, a seemingly rough couple, take in children with troubled histories. In this household organized around dogs, love finds its way. There is Roman, who had to be taken away from a destabilized family. There are Nelson and Grégory, two “difficult” brothers. And Atalante, a little girl as wise as she is clumsy. These children, who arrive with their own often traumatic past, will have to learn to live together. And cohabit with the daughter of their foster parents, Angélique, who is struggling to find her place in this refuge... A haven that the gaze of others - neighbors, families, social services - will gradually damage. “In this paper pack, everyone has a place, even the most fragile puppy. In this text, every word also has its place. [...] When you close it, you’ll treasure its sweetness for a long time to come. Lorraine Fouchet, foreword. A novel of rare strength, almost raw, with a rough tenderness.
