L' effet de la gravité sur la lumière

Summary: We must never forget that in the word courage, there is also the word rage ... An amalgam of colors, nuances, notes and silences. This novel tells of two years of correspondence of a couple to their daughter, a love story complicated by art where the perfect simplicity of the beautiful days never existed. Gabriel Déry, Quebec's leading painter and personality, is seduced by the power of visceral intuition and the ideal of beauty. He holds the key to the mystery of the muse, the one that embodies the taboo so profound that it surpasses the work of the artist-painter. His spouse, Moira Corbeau, is torn between her demands and the urgency of transcending the limits imposed by Alzheimer's. The cellist brings us into her world where the raw instinctual art of music and her love for Gabrielle Roy create the perfect illusion of tailor-made happiness. His letters to his daughter Philippa reveal to us the foggy shell of a life where emotions are inscribed on the essence of primitive beauty and, despite it, its consecration as an immortal muse.
