saisir le lien qui l'unissait à celui qui a partagé sa vie pendant plus de trente ans, malgré de fréquentes périodes de séparation pendant lesquelles elle voyage ou se retire pour écrire, tout en gardant un contact épistolaire constant avec celui qu'elle appelle affectueusement son "cher grand fou". Dans ces pages écrites au fil de la plume, la romancière se laisse voir dans son quotidien, elle livre ses préoccupations, ses découvertes, ses pensées fugitives, la matière en somme dont est faite sa vie de tous les jours. Mais ces lettres possèdent également une valeur littéraire inestimable, que Gabrielle Roy a d'ailleurs elle-même reconnue puisqu'elle a exprimé le souhait, avant sa mort, que cette partie de sa correspondance soit publiée. La parution de ce recueil vient donc honorer ses dernières volontés
