Lorsque Julien apprend la mort de son grand-père, il est triste. Bien sûr. Pourtant, dans ce deuil à coeur ouvert, l'espoir est là. L'espoir, ce sont les souvenirs et les secrets partagés...

« Chut... Maman dort... » C'est ce que diront Angélique, cinq ans, et sa petite soeur Bérangère, trois ans, aux pompiers qui viennent d'enfoncer la porte d'entrée de la maison. Les fillettes vivent depuis une dizaine de jours livrées à elles-mêmes. La factrice, intriguée de voir la boîte aux lettres s'emplir de prospectus, a fini par donner l'alerte. Les secours découvriront le corps de la mère à l'étage, dans sa chambre. Sans vie. Dans le village, c'est la stupéfaction. Les petites, elles, doivent continuer à vivre. Six ans plus tard, Angélique, l'aînée, est occupée à grandir auprès de sa soeur, à retrouver le sourire dans une famille d'accueil. Pourtant, le souvenir de leur mère est là, lointain, insaisissable, une mère inachevée qui renaît par bribes dans le cahier que remplit Angélique, le temps d'un été, celui de la résilience.

Homme de lettres doué pour les sciences, voyageur, inventeur, homme politique, séducteur, Benjamin Franklin a, certes, bien inventé le paratonnerre, mais il fut surtout un des acteurs majeurs de l'Indépendance américaine.

One of the earliest published works to explore the subject of homosexuality, `Bertram Cope's Year' became the first of many books to later touch on homosexuality, such as `Brokeback Mountain,' made into a film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, and `The Great Gatsby,' made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. The titular Bertram is working at a university, finishing up his thesis. While he is there, he attracts the romantic attention of three young women, two older men, and a society hostess. But who does Bertram's heart belong to? A delicately-written book, dealing with a topic that was considered scandalous at the time. Born in Chicago, Henry Blake Fuller (1857 - 1929) was a composer, critic, author, and poet. Educated at the Allison Classical Academy, his teenage diaries are the earliest evidence of his homosexuality. After graduating, he worked briefly as a businessman, before leaving for Europe. Italy made the greatest impression on him, and he was to return there many times. While he was first known for writing unromantic stories about life in his birthplace, Fuller later took the brave step of writing a book, `Bertram Cope's Year.' This explored homosexuality on a philosophical level. However, because of the subject matter, the book was turned down by every publisher in New York. Undeterred, Fuller published it himself. After his death, this was to become his most acclaimed novel.
