Trois jours après jamais: roman (Azimuts)
Par Ann Lamontagne. 2002
L'été précédant les terribles événements qui se sont produits au Québec restera gravé dans les mémoires comme le plus merveilleux…
été de tous les temps, avec ses journées chaudes et enveloppantes, ses soirées fraîches entrecoupées de pluie brève et sa flore aussi exubérante qu'en région tropicale. L'automne finit néanmoins par descendre sur la province, puis l'hiver vint, comme il se doit. Et c'est là que les choses ont commencé à mal tourner. Au moment où la population surveille les premiers signes du printemps, comme chaque fois au sortir d'un long hiver, ce dernier ne cède pas un pouce de terrain. Au mois de mai, une violente tempête de neige semble enfin clore la saison, mais une fois le calme revenu, le Québec désemparé constate que l'hiver n'a pas rendu les armes. L'abattement succède à l'inquiétude quand la population s'aperçoit qu'il pourrait bien s'agir des premières manifestations d'une nouvelle période glaciaire et que l'hiver, loin de s'épuiser, pourrait être installé à demeure. Pour les lecteurs d'école secondaire. 2002.Traquées!
