Les maisons
Les maisons: roman | Fanny Britt
8 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
Tessa, chanteuse classique convertie en courtire immobilire, vend des maisons et ne va pas bien. Elle lve trois fils qu'elle adore avec un homme qui la chrit. Dans trois jours, elle a rendez-vous avec Francis, un ancien amour qui n'a jamais guri. Entre-temps, il y aura des visites de proprits, des cabines d'essayage, des cours de natation, des ponts en btons de popsicle livrer l'expo-sciences de l'cole, des treintes dans la nuit, des deuils, des rappels de l'enfance, des fantmes, et la peur de vieillir dans l'amertume. Cesse-t-on un jour de dsirer ce qu'on a dsir vingt ans?Au confluent des Annie Dillard, Elisabeth Strout et Rachel Cusk, l'ample fresque des Maisons fouille les drames privs dans une poque d'insatisfaction et de conformisme. Derrire les portes closes sur des intrieurs encombrs par la solitude, on trouvera aussi l'amour des enfants et de l'architecture du quotidien. Tout a se passe Montral.

#TarotTakeOver #4ofCups
This card for me is about being bore out of my mind by routine, therefor not appreciating what the stability of the 4 & routine offer. It‘s also wishing that past opportunities/decisions/events would of turned out differently.

Tessa in the tag book is going through that when her long standing union is being challenged by the encounter of a past lover. Leading her to reassess the past, present and futur.

Meaw_catlady I love the illustration on that card! She does look bored! 4y

I truly enjoyed that story. The author got me to be opinionated, judgemental, empathic, hopeful and proud towards the main character Tessa. She‘s about a decade younger than me, but I share quite a few references and a somewhat life crisis/opportunity of the mondaine with her. May our mature sound judgement save our young bruised hearts & broken minds❣️Looking forward to the #1LivreQCxMois virtual discussion. #Franco #SummerBookSpinBongo2020

“Je ne sais pas encore que je suis chez lui”
Google translation : “I don't know yet that I am at his place” ➡️ The book is translated as “”Hunting Houses”

I'm starting this for my #1LivreQCxMois book club. The resume overwhelms me a bit, it gives me a feeling of «a lot, of a lot, in the day to day» which I'm slowly getting away from in my own life. I'm leaning on the fact that It's been recommended quite often by local lit. voices. Let'S hope for the best ;)

If you read French and would like to join, it's a public online book club on FB and there are still a few open places. #JeLisBleu #Franco
