Un premier roman poignant sur la fugue d'une mère, qui va métamorphoser sa famille.
Un soir, Amani, soixante-sept ans, femme de ménage à la retraite dans une cité HLM paisible en bordure de forêt, s'en va. Pas de dispute, pas de cris, pas de valise non plus. Juste une casserole de pâtes piquantes laissée sur la cuisinière et un mot griffonné à la hâte : " Je dois partir, vraiment. Mais je reviendrai. " Son mari Hédi, ancien maçon bougon, chancelle.

Out of several live Hendrix albums, The Jimi Hendrix Concerts stands as one of the very best. Taken from shows at Winterland, The Royal Albert Hall, and from various venues in New York, Berkeley, and San Diego, the set includes hits like "Fire," "Voodoo Chile," and "Hey Joe," as well as fine blues like "Red House," "Bleeding Heart," and "Hear My Train a Comin'." Highlights include a definitive version of "Little Wing" and one of the most assured and driving versions of "Voodoo Chile" (these and four other stellar tracks come from what must have been an amazing concert at Winterland in the fall of '68). Another standout is "I Don't Live Today," which features a fine mix of jazz-inspired soloing and various feedback and distortion "tricks" (tricks that figure into Hendrix's way of "playing with the electronics," and which make up one of the more innovative aspects of his guitar playing). Hendrix gets adept and sympathetic support throughout from bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell (Band of Gypsies' bassist Billy Cox replaces Redding on "Red House" and "Hey Joe").
