- Summary:
- "Le 28 octobre 2012, l'auteur perd sa fille dans un accident de voiture. Peu après, un témoignage sur ce drame, et sur la compassion dont sa famille a bénéficié, germe dans sa tête, Le fruit a été lent à mûrir. Nathalie Lemaine le livre, enfin, comme un gage ďamour envers son enfant disparue ; comme une marque de reconnaissance à lendroit de ceux et celles qui lont aidée à porter le poids de la douleur. Il servira peut-être aussi de béquille pour qui est passé (ou passera) par cette vallée de larmes. Quelque part aussi ce récit, où ľhumour n'est pas absent, vise à rappeler qu'Haiti est une terre d'amitié de joie de vivre et de solidarité. Une solidarité infaillible, malgré tout"--Back cover.
- "On October 28, 2012, the author lost her daughter in a car accident. Shortly after, a story about this tragedy, and the compassion her family received, began to take shape in her mind. The fruit was slow to ripen. Nathalie Lemaine finally shares it as a token of love for her lost child; as a mark of gratitude to those who helped her bear the weight of her grief. It may also serve as a crutch for anyone who has gone (or will go) through this valley of tears. In a way, this narrative, where humor is not absent, also aims to remind us that Haiti is a land of friendship, joy of life, and solidarity. An unwavering solidarity, despite everything."-- Translation of back cover.
