About this listen

Ce soir-là, Louis, seize ans, n'est pas rentré à la maison. Anne, sa mère, dans ce village de Bretagne, au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, voit sa vie dévorée par l'attente, par l'absence qui questionne la vie du couple et redessine celle de toute la famille. Chaque jour, aux abords de la folie, aux limites de la douleur, Anne attend le bateau qui lui ramènera son fils. Pour survivre, elle lui écrit la fête insensée qu'elle offrira pour son retour.

Telle une tragédie implacable, l'histoire se resserre sur un amour maternel infini. Avec Une longue impatience, Gaëlle Josse signe un roman d'une grande retenue et d'une humanité rare, et un bouleversant portrait de femme, secrète, généreuse et fière. Anne incarne toutes les mères qui tiennent debout contre vents et marées.
