Elle veut tirer sa r\u00e9v\u00e9rence, mais en France, ce choix ne lui appartient pas. Alors elle entend bien mourir ailleurs, dans la dignit\u00e9. Avant cela, elle a une derni\u00e8re t\u00e2che \u00e0 accomplir : redonner go\u00fbt \u00e0 l\u2019amour \u00e0 Emmanuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:19px\">Son petit-fils, photographe animalier en Tanzanie, lui semble plus pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 par le sort des \u00e9l\u00e9phants d\u2019Afrique que par la solitude dans laquelle il s\u2019est enferm\u00e9. La solitude, c\u2019est aussi le lot de Roxanne, depuis qu\u2019elle a abandonn\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re de joueuse de poker pour trouver un sens \u00e0 sa vie. Son arriv\u00e9e dans la maison de retraite de Marguerite va bousculer leur destin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Mon ressenti<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Marguerite, 93 ans, vit ses derniers jours.<\/strong> Elle a un cancer mais refuse de se faire soigner. <strong>Pour elle, il est temps de tirer sa r\u00e9v\u00e9rence.<\/strong> Emmanuel, son petit fils, vit en Tanzanie. Il est photographe animalier, et <strong>il s&rsquo;int\u00e9resse notamment aux \u00e9l\u00e9phants et le sort qui leur est r\u00e9serv\u00e9 par les braconniers.<\/strong> Enfin, <strong>Roxanne<\/strong> est une ancienne joueuse professionnelle de poker. Sa grand-m\u00e8re est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e quelques mois auparavant et vivait dans le m\u00eame Ehpad que Marguerite. Elle y<strong> est devenue b\u00e9n\u00e9vole afin d&rsquo;aider les personnages ag\u00e9es dans leur quotidien. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Marguerite a confi\u00e9 \u00e0 Roxanne sa volont\u00e9 de finir sa vie<\/strong> avant que la souffrance ne s&rsquo;installe. Elle voudrait qu&rsquo;Emmanuel l&rsquo;accompagne dans sa d\u00e9cision mais avant, elle souhaite qu&rsquo;il puisse refaire sa vie. Ce dernier rentre en France afin de la faire changer d&rsquo;avis. C&rsquo;est elle qui l&rsquo;a \u00e9lev\u00e9 et<strong> il refuse de la laisser partir<\/strong>. Enfin, Roxanne va s&rsquo;immiscer dans leur vie. Tr\u00e8s rapidement, <strong>le lecteur comprend les tenants et les aboutissants de l&rsquo;histoire.

Il lui a si longtemps sembl\u00e9 qu&rsquo;aucune temp\u00eate ne pourrait la faire plier, qu&rsquo;elle \u00e9tait incassable, qu&rsquo;elle s&rsquo;adaptait aux affronts de la vie et de la mort avec une r\u00e9silience d\u00e9sarmante. Mais, devant son corps plus fr\u00eale encore qu&rsquo;il y a quinze jours, il prend pleinement conscience qu&rsquo;il est temps de lui dire au revoir. Et il se sent comme un \u00e9l\u00e9phanteau devant sa m\u00e8re s&rsquo;appr\u00eatant \u00e0 pousser son dernier soupir.<\/p><cite>La r\u00e9v\u00e9rence de l&rsquo;\u00e9l\u00e9phant, Laura Trompette<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Les personnages sont plut\u00f4t agr\u00e9ables et attachants, <\/strong>dans l&rsquo;ensemble, surtout Roxane qui donne coeur et \u00e2me pour aider les r\u00e9sidents de l&rsquo;ehpad \u00e0 mieux vivre leurs derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. <strong>Les aide-soignants comme Isma\u00ebl ou encore Coumba ne sont pas en reste<\/strong>.

Le fait de pouvoir (ou pas) choisir sa fin de vie, de choisir d&rsquo;en finir est un sujet qui fait toujours d\u00e9bat. Accepter de laisser partir nos proches. La probl\u00e9matique des \u00e9l\u00e9phants et de leur chasse en Afrique.<strong> Mais pourtant, malgr\u00e9 un choix de th\u00e8mes importants, je n&rsquo;ai pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 m&rsquo;immerger dans cette histoire.<\/strong> Les sujets sont certes int\u00e9ressants, mais trop \u00e9loign\u00e9s.
