About the Book

Lors d'un périple de trois mois qui a finalement épanoui la routarde frustrée en elle, l'auteure invite le lecteur à partager son quotidien en Espagne, dans deux villages de bord de mer. Déterminée à vivre la vie de village de l'intérieur et à parfaire son espagnol, elle nous entraîne avec un humour irrésistible et un sens de l'observation hors du commun non seulement dans mille et une péripéties de sa vie de tous les jours, mais aussi dans quelque chose qui pourrait bien ressembler à un coin de l'âme espagnole. À Nerja, en Andalousie, Christiane Côté présente la famille Muñoz chez qui elle loge, avec Julia, l'âme du clan, le chat, le perroquet qui imite la sonnerie du téléphone et la tablée bruyante et animée qui ripaille joyeusement chaque midi rue Bronce. On y rencontre aussi Carlos, le professeur d'espagnol dont les réparties saugrenues, parfois hilarantes, d'une des élèves états-uniennes mettront sérieusement au défi les habiletés pédagogiques. Puis le bel Andalou, qui tentera d'en mettre plein la vue à notre héroïne par ses manières théâtrales. Puis le charmant docteur Sanchez, le caricaturiste français et les vénérables patriarches dont les longs conciliabules matinaux quotidiens balisent la vie sociale du village. Enfin, Christiane intégrera avec bonheur la faune bigarrée et irrésistible de la Casa de las Palabras, un collectif d'art démocratique unique qui lui offrira un accueil chaleureux. On y découvre des gens passionnants tels Pilar, l'intellectuelle redoutable, Élina la touchante professeure de flamenco septuagénaire et Marco, ex-rebelle, artiste aux multiples talents et animateur du lieu. À Portbou, petit village frontalier catalan qui s'efforce fièrement de retrouver un peu de sa gloire pré Union européenne, le temps semble suspendu. Blotti aux abords d'une baie magnifique de la Méditerranée dans laquelle se jettent les Pyrénées, majestueuses, la vie s'y déroule paresseusement et sa géographie invite l'auteure à davantage d'intériorité. Entre une période de jeûne salutaire et quelques escapades sur la magnifique Côte Vermeille, le lecteur découvre l'incontournable et inénarrable Lourdes, les fous du village, un chef de cuisine méditant ainsi que la tramontane, le vent qui rend fou.Truffé de fines observations sur des personnages hauts en couleur et de descriptions si vivantes qu'elles donnent l'impression d'être soi-même le protagoniste de cette joyeuse aventure, ce récit ne manquera pas de toucher et de réjouir le coeur de ses lecteurs.
