de Montréal en 1976 pour mettre à mal guerres froides, ordinateurs et records au point d'accéder au statut de mythe planétaire, la narratrice de ce roman entreprend de raconter ce qu'elle imagine de l'expérience que vécut cette prodigieuse fillette, symbole d'une Europe révolue, venue, par la seule pureté de ses gestes, incarner aux yeux désabusés du monde le rêve d'une enfance éternelle. Mais quelle version retenir du parcours de cette petite communiste qui ne souriait jamais et qui voltigea, d'Est en Ouest, devant ses juges, sportifs, politiques ou médiatiques, entre adoration des foules et manipulations étatiques ? Mimétique de l'audace féerique des figures jadis tracées au ciel de la compétition par une simple enfant, le roman-acrobate de Lola Lafon, plus proche de la légende d'Icare que de la mythologie des dieux du stade , rend l'hommage d'une fiction inspirée à celle-là, qui, d'un coup de pied à la lune, a ravagé le chemin rétréci qu'on réserve aux petites filles, ces petites filles de l'été 1976 qui, grâce à elle, ont rêvé de s'élancer dans le vide, les abdos serrés et la peau nue.
