La Guadeloupe des annes cinquante. Contre des parents qui semblent surtout souds par le mensonge, contre une mre aussi dure avec les autres qu'avec ellemme, contre un pre timor, la petite Maryse prend le chemin de la rbellion. La soif de connaissance, les rves d'autonomie et de libert la guident vers son destin d'crivain. Mais peu peu les preuves de la vie appellent l'indulgence, la nostalgie de l'me carabe restitue certains bonheurs d'enfance. Et Maryse se souvient alors de cet instant qui lui redonna l'amour des siens, de cette ultime nuit o 'roule en boule contre son flanc, dans son odeur d'ge et d'arnica, dans sa chaleur', elle retrouva sa mre en la perdant. Aux sources de l'inspiration romanesque de Maryse Cond.
