As Christian ladies, we often feel that our emotions and needs are not important, and this can lead to a lot of unnecessary pain and heartache. While the Bible does not have a specific commandment for loving ourselves, but it is inferred in Mark 12:31 where Jesus says, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

Why does a bad impression last longer than a good one? Why does losing money affect us more than gaining it? What makes phobias so hard to shake? The answer is the negativity bias - or in other words, the power of bad. As John Tierney and Roy F. Baumeister show, we are wired to react to bad over good. It makes sense in evolutionary terms, but in our modern world the lure of bad is, well, bad. It governs people's moods, drives marketing and dominates our news. It can explain everything from why wars start or couples divorce to why we mess up job interviews or feud with neighbours.

The Shining, de Stanley Kubrick, cette histoire étrange située dans un hôtel où s’installent hors-saison un écrivain, sa femme et leur garçon aux pouvoirs extrasensoriels, a impressionné une foule de spectateurs depuis sa sortie en 1980. C’est à l’âge de dix ans que Simon Roy a découvert ce film, médusé par une réplique: «Tu aimes les glaces, canard?» Depuis, il l’a revu au moins quarante-deux fois, sans doute parce qu’il «contient les symptômes tragiques d’une fêlure» qui l’habite depuis des générations.

Ce livre de maturité fait apparaître avec plus d'éclat que jamais les qualités d'émotion, d'évocation et d'écriture qui singularisent si fortement l'œuvre de la grande romancière. En s'inspirant du temps où elle enseignait au Manitoba, Gabrielle Roy trace ici le portrait d'élèves qui, pour elle, portent à la fois le visage de l'enfance et celui de l'humanité tout entière.

Quatre récits composent la trame de ce roman où Gabrielle Roy poursuit – en l’approfondissant – l’exploration de sa propre condition de femme et d’écrivaine qu’elle avait entreprise dans Rue Deschambault. Christine, cette fois, découvre les grands mystères de l’existence et de la création: le passage et l’éternité du temps, la suite des générations et des âges de la vie, les risques de l’errance, la dure nécessité de rompre si l’on veut accomplir son destin.
