Dans ce recueil de nouvelles, l'auteure y tricote son spleen, dans sept histoires ciselées d'humour décalé qui semblent cheminer en parallèle puis s'éloigner... pour mieux se rejoindre. Une femme obèse vivant recluse, un psy face à ses patients, les déboires d'une prostituée... Avec une ironie empreinte d'une tendresse intimiste, émerge un propos humaniste sur la solitude qui fera écho en chacun de nous. Écoutez la petite musique intérieure faussement désabusée de ces récits tour à tour tendres, drôles mais incisifs.
