En un futuro lejano, la humanidad está al borde de la desaparición. Dispersos en pequeñas tribus bajo el cuidado de unas enigmáticas «Madres», los últimos humanos intentan sobrevivir en un planeta irreconocible. Algunos niños nacen en fábricas, creados a partir de células de animales; otros se nutren a través de la fotosíntesis, como las plantas. Tal vez la continuidad de la especie dependa del mestizaje con estas nuevas criaturas, pero nadie sabe si los vínculos y la sociedad lograrán perdurar.

À travers un parcours franco-ontarien intimiste et lucide, Robert Major interroge ce que signifie « appartenir »: entre racines et départs, mémoire et présent, langue et lieux. Dans une prose réfléchie, il tisse observations, souvenirs et réflexions pour éclairer l’expérience d’une communauté qui se réinvente. Porté par la recherche du mot juste, ce récit essayistique explore l’identité, l’héritage et les liens qui nous unissent. Un voyage intérieur et collectif qui invite l’écoute, la reconnaissance et la redécouverte du territoire des appartenances.

Entre une capitale de neige et des rivières qui charrient les saisons, une voix cherche ce qui demeure lorsque tout s’effrite: l’enfance qui s’éloigne, les lieux quittés, la langue qu’on réinvente pour survivre. Tissés de récits intimes et d’éclats réflexifs, ces fragments traversent Ottawa–Gatineau et bien au-delà, en suivant les traces de celles et ceux que le manque, le désir et la mémoire tiennent éveillés. On y croise des cuisines où la nuit s’attarde, des autobus qui font le tour des regrets, des lettres jamais envoyées.

Callie loves a timeless classic. She thought running a shop in her charming southern town meant quiet days, good tea, and lots of spare time to read.
