Title : The Midnight Exam - Bruno Gay-Lussac - book
Summary :
A man writes, in the room where he lived as a child, the story of his life. Listening to the rain fall in the first autumn. The chattering maid. Then it's winter. A second autumn, finally. In the meantime, the present will have slipped by, imperceptible, punctuated by trips between his suburban house and his office, by visits to his three sons' boarding school. He is alone. Separated from his children, from his wife Claire, whom he loved, for whom he desperately awaits. The haunting of a mediocre life has led him to establish, in his little world, the tyranny of disorder and unhappiness, to live a strange, dazzling passion with a young Englishwoman, to break everything. Thus the past returns, in nostalgic gusts, triggered by nothing: the smell of rotten apples in the fog, a noise in the house. He now knows what he has experienced and made his family experience. But why he adores, destroys and mourns what he owns, he will always ignore.
