While giving an interview by bike for a television series, Dominique has a nasty fall which forces her to slow down her activities. Sport is over for a while, as are long periods of writing. Never mind, between rehabilitation sessions, this strong and sensitive woman enjoys all the pleasures that life brings her, notably this love at first sight for August, the handsome married German. In As long as there are birdssequel to the autofiction My crazy love, Dominique Demers opens the doors of his refuge, the “house of little pigs” full of “drafts and mice”, reveals the flaws and beauties of humans, the pain of separations, the richness of encounters, all with an obvious and delicate understanding of humanity. A novel of love, friendship and everyday life with its challenges and its sweetness, a light but gripping story, written in a cinematic language, this autofiction smells of orange muffins and simmering soup.
