The life, the real one. Imperfect and improbable, surprising and overflowing. The four women in this novel become friends that we would like to have, that we observe on the sly, with tenderness. ". – Catherine Trudeau, actress and author. Nathalie, Doris and Fabienne have never spoken to each other. The first two are neighbors, the last lives abroad. They have only one thing in common: Madame Giffard, eighty-seven years old, who, on this spring Wednesday, has just sprawled out in her hallway. A weakness, a malaise, she has to leave in an ambulance, leaving behind her a spaniel who howls with pain. Normally, Doris should have helped her, but today, Doris didn't show up. So it's Nathalie, a suspicious and grumpy thirtysomething, who finds herself caught up with the dog, the old lady's apartment, and the complicated task of managing his absence... Six days in the hospital for Madame Giffard. Six days for the other three, to cling to the known… or to let themselves be changed. In this lively and hilarious fable, we talk about loneliness, dancing, chips, fishnet stockings and dog pee. And we're talking about old age, which doesn't have to be so scary...
