This is the wish of Antoine who refuses to forget the time of his childhood and the hollow paths of his country. It is his foundation, his base. Everything started from there. His grandmother Lise used to take him by the hand and open his eyes to the world. He was pedaling on his bike and experienced his first emotions as a little boy with Cocotte. He lived in the great outdoors and his horizon was on familiar terms with infinity. He spent time inside the walls of the seminary, but it was probably there that he learned to dream. The rituals of a world gone astray are there. Everything is terribly rural and physical. And the voices, the gestures, the small and great joys and sufferings of the women and men who helped him to grow are still with him, Olympe who loved men, Irma who was not loved enough, Marcellin abandoned by love, Henri who went to look for love at the end of the world. Beauty slips between the lines of this novel like those flights of cranes that pass through the sky and the reader takes in a big bowl of oxygen, tenderness and nostalgia.
