Las Gratitudes by Delphine de Vigan
In this poignant narrative, the story unfolds around the life of an elderly woman named Michka, who is grappling with the gradual loss of her speech and independence. As her world becomes increasingly confined, she finds solace and companionship in Marie, a young woman who has been like a daughter to her, and Jérôme, a compassionate speech therapist. Through their interactions, the novel explores themes of gratitude, memory, and the profound connections that sustain us, even as the inevitable changes of life take their toll. The narrative is a tender reflection on the power of language and the enduring bonds of love and friendship.
