Books to read for Frye Academy's 15th season:

 

 

Après avoir perdu son bébé en cours de grossesse, Dolores se réfugie à Moreau, le village de son enfance. Dans le bungalow d’à côté, madame Labelle se remet d’une fracture en buvant du thé au milieu de son salon Tiki. En face, Olivia, huit ans, tourne en rond pendant que son père travaille. Entre deux parties de cartes, une vieille série policière et l’étrange apparition d’un oiseau à l’aile cassée, elles prendront soin les unes des autres. Et la forêt, tout autour de ce village où il n’y a aucun chat et presque plus d’habitants, prendra soin d’elles.  

Comme un conte pour enfants qui auraient grandi trop vite, Après Céleste explore les sentiers du deuil, de l’amitié, de la mémoire et, surtout, de la guérison.
