Title : The Meeting - Isabelle Pestre - book

Summary :

In a carnal, poetic and plant-filled universe, the poignant journey of a young woman in search of herself.

Finalist for the Prix des deux Magots

The gate opens and closes by some photoelectric trick. The car slides, Marie turns around. Is it possible? Beyond the wall, the furious confusion of the world is abolished. The park offers itself to be read, a page written in a mother tongue then forgotten. To the walker, the order of the garden is immediately intelligible, even familiar, and at the same time, hidden. The meaning constantly eludes us. A path opens and stops, we retrace our steps without knowing it, we get lost and understand nothing of the happiness that takes us entirely.

One night, while driving her car, Marie hits a cyclist. Unable to cope with his actions, she escapes. Thus begins a long wandering for her. Now, what meaning can she give to her life? Will she give in to the easy option and exile herself from the world? Lose herself in the arms of a clumsy man she meets at a bend in the road?
The young woman returns to the scene of the accident, drawn in spite of herself. She finds a place at the magnificent Yprée estate, where the victim's father lives. This radiant park, where nature, both wild and tamed, flourishes, will be the occasion for a beautiful and impromptu encounter. But the past has left indelible traces...
