déracinée en Amérique? Dans les rues de la capitale, la vie exubérante côtoie le souvenir de mille tragédies. Rome est le théâtre d’une violence répétée, ce cinéma où l’on s’assoit, agitée, pour assister au programme double de la femme tuée. La poète parcourt la ville, attentive aux fantômes qui passent.

Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille

Jules rend visite à son père, Denis, un vieux punk imprévisible, afin de lui remettre une énigmatique petite boîte. Après…

un silence de dix ans, leurs retrouvailles s'orchestrent autour d'un spaghetti bien arrosé. Mais Denis veut dicter les règles du jeu et la tension monte, dévoilant les raisons de ce huis clos qui vire bientôt au cauchemar. Portée par les chansons de The Cure, parmi les flaques d’urine et les débris de la télévision, Jules mettra le point final à ce crescendo de violence qui la révélera tantôt victime, tantôt bourreau. Entre cruauté et nostalgie, Les pénitences ressuscite l'enfance de deux fillettes sous la coupe d'un adulte dangereux aux lois arbitraires. Ce thriller à la prose fiévreuse, où le détail inquiétant et la menace imminente pulsent dans la lueur lavande des enregistrements VHS, montre les ramifications mentales, émotives et sexuelles des relations abusives et de la pauvreté

Her parents were abolitionists, and their home was a station on the Underground Railroad. Her family moved to Canada in 1851 after the Fugitive Slave Act was enacted, and as a young woman, Shadd became a trailblazer in every realm she touched — opening a desegregated school in Chatham, Ontario; becoming the first Black female newspaper publisher in North America with the Provincial Freeman; becoming a suffrage activist; and at the age of 60 earning a law degree to become one of the first Black women to practice law!Mary Ann was truly remarkable, for her time or any other, unafraid to speak up and fight for equal rights — for Black people, for women and for everybody.Written by award-winning author Elizabeth MacLeod, this portrait of Mary Ann Shadd couples simple yet compelling writing with comic-flavoured illustrations by Mike Deas that help bring her fascinating story to life!
