« De l’âge de 6 ans à celui de 20 ans, j’ai passé toutes mes vacances dans un Home d’enfants situé dans une vallée paradisiaque, en Suisse. Une vie à la dure, des heures de marche dans la montagne, des punitions, des frites : tout me plaisait. Le chalet était tenu par Karl et Anne-Marie Ammann, avec leurs enfants Patou et Vava. Ils ont été ma famille d’adoption alors que mes parents étaient absents. Trente ans après, je suis retournée dans la vallée. Je l’ai retrouvée intacte. J’ai commencé à écrire un livre, je souhaitais qu’il soit tendre et pur comme ce passé. Et voilà que commençant ce livre, j’ai appris qu’il y avait eu mensonge au paradis. Patou était en prison pour escroquerie, il avait passé sa vie à mentir et à voler. Sa sœur Vava, mon amie d’enfance, souffre de délires paranoïaques. Elle est schizophrène, ne sort plus de chez elle, passe ses journées sur les réseaux sociaux. Sidérée, j’ai enquêté de manière obsessionnelle. Que leur est-il arrivé ? Pourquoi ont-ils renoncé à la réalité pour vivre au pays du mensonge ? Mais répondre à ces questions n’était pas suffisant. Pour écrire enfin la vérité, avoir la force de l’accepter, il fallait que je me regarde en face. Pourquoi, alors que j’avais été si heureuse dans cette vallée, n’y étais-je jamais retournée ? Il a fallu que je termine une première fois ce livre pour admettre mon aveuglement. Moi aussi je mentais. En enquêtant sur le passé des autres, j’ai pu ouvrir les yeux sur le mien. Je devais tout réécrire, en acceptant la face triste de ma propre enfance, la face violente de ma vie d’adulte. Est-ce que mes livres précédents n’étaient pas des fictions alors que j’avais l’ambition d’écrire la vérité ? S’il faut « un cœur d’airain » pour accepter la réalité, j’étais enfin prête à le faire. »

Très bonne analyse de ce que l’on voit avec nos yeux d’enfants et finalement en devenant adulte on s’aperçoit que tout n’est pas aussi merveilleux qu’on l’imaginait…
Très bien

Voulons-nous toujours savoir la vérité ? Y compris au risque d’abîmer les souvenirs heureux de l’enfance ?
Une quête de vérité qui expose sans juger, sans condamner.

J’ai vraiment beaucoup aimé ce livre. L’écriture est très subtile. Ce regard sur le passé, le présent futur… un livre qui reste.
