“Heritage” rather than heritage. This new word, whose meaning is immediately obvious, connotes this novel which describes the decline of a couple of octogenarians in their family home, especially that of Edwige, suffering from a neurological disease ultimately diagnosed as Parkinson’s. Their daughter Anne chronicles it, not without anger, not without remorse.
The novel concentrates the time of these lives in the family country home, which summarizes and symbolizes its inhabitants like a mirror house. Designed for a family with two children, it becomes excessive for two retired octogenarians. And why “heritage”? No doubt because the father, Daniel, built it in 1981 so that his wife would find it like the house of her dreams. Made in his image and equipped according to his requirements.
