Title: The Loire Ferryman - Catherine Lépront - book
Summary :
"Lic gets up. He's as usual. He always leaves the same mess on the desk that he'll tidy up later in the day. He's wearing an indoor jacket, the belt of which he nervously tightens and loosens, resembling the cord of a monk's habit. He coughs, clears his throat, wiggles his fingers in the air... He has a very handsome, intelligent face. A very handsome, thoughtful, and tender look. There's something inconsolable in his expression and, suddenly, prodigiously humorous. A few moments ago, in Myette's presence, he had a nasty, contemptuous face, a sullen air. Lic sighs. He heads toward the living room. He walks with his shoulders drooping as if under the weight of infinite weariness. He's as usual, he hasn't changed. I find him strange."
