Un soir de tempête, son convoi s’immobilise. Déraillement ? Elle se précipite au-dehors pour mesurer les dégâts et se retrouve face contre neige, blessée. Elle est recueillie par un mystérieux ermite, envoûtant et lettré. Sur fond de préoccupations environnementales, de tensions entre Blancs et autochtones, se tisse une histoire d’amour. Une histoire périlleuse et sauvage, comme le territoire que Marie sillonne avec son train. Please note: This audiobook is in French.Une nuit de tempête

trottoir glacé. À partir de ce moment, leurs deux vies seront inextricablement liées. Une adolescente plongée dans l’émoi d’un premier amour, une femme en pleine crise mystique, un homme à tout faire aussi prompt à rendre service qu’à tordre le nez aux voyous, une amoureuse incapable de résister à l’appel du gâteau au chocolat : on reconnaît avec bonheur la marque de l’auteur du Matou dans la riche palette de personnages qui composent ce roman. Rencontre au milieu de la nuit pourrait être l’œuvre ultime d’Yves Beauchemin, lui qui se plaît à dire qu’« écrire sénile, c’est pathétique. Écrire mort, extrêmement difficile ».

North America are being hunted for their bone marrow and ability to dream.Years ago, when plagues and natural disasters killed millions of people, much of the world stopped dreaming. Without dreams, people are haunted, sick, mad, unable to rebuild. The government soon finds that the Indigenous people of North America have retained their dreams, an ability rumored to be housed in the very marrow of their bones. Soon, residential schools pop up--or are re-opened--across the land to bring in the dreamers and harvest their dreams.Seventeen-year-old French lost his family to these schools and has spent the years since heading north with his new found family: a group of other dreamers, who, like him, are trying to build and thrive as a community. But then French wakes up in a pitch-black room, locked in and alone for the first time in years, and he knows immediately where he is--and what it will take to escape. Meanwhile, out in the world, his found family searches for him and dodges new dangers--school Recruiters, a blood cult, even the land itself. When their paths finally collide, French must decide how far he is willing to go--and how many loved ones is he willing to betray--in order to survive.
