Romance loin de tout.

Jo Bessett.

Tempête à Fermont. 501 pages.

Hugo roman.

À Fermont, cité minière du nord du Québec, la vie de Jilliane bascule lorsque son amoureux décide de mettre fin à leur couple. Bientôt sans logement, à moins d’un mois de Noël, la jeune femme est dévastée. Son travail à la bibliothèque et ses collègues Mario et Amélie l’aident à traverser cette épreuve, mais hélas, cela ne règle en rien sa situation de future itinérante. Alors qu’elle envisage sans grand enthousiasme de retourner vivre à Montréal, les événements s’enchaînent : l’arrivée d’un séduisant inconnu sème le trouble dans son esprit, la visite surprise de sa mère ajoute à son embarras et un crime survient dans la petite communauté. Naviguant tant bien que mal à travers les écueils, les doutes et les émotions nouvelles, Jilliane n’est plus certaine de rien. Devrait-elle tout laisser tomber ou affronter enfin le drame personnel qui la pousse à fuir?

Mon avis :

J’ai apprécié mon moment lecture, malgré que ce n’est pas le style que je préfère. Je voulais entrer dans un mood de Noël. Le roman se passe durant le mois de décembre au Fermont, on y ressent le froid que cette région a, qui est décrit par le personnage principal, Jill. On la suit dans ses hauts et ses bas, juste avant la période des festivités. Le travail ardu qu’elle doit faire à la bibliothèque et ses déboires amoureux se côtoie. Même un crime qui sera résolue à la fin, dont je ne m’attendais pas. J’ai bien aimé ce roman!

Ya know I understand it was John’s fault that the plane accident occurred but it’s really annoying how some people act like he woke up one day and was like “I’m gonna kill my wife and sister ☺️” and ofc with their fake concern comments “what about the bessettes! They lost 2 daughters!!!” like yes, we should feel for them and their losses are equally important but let’s not act like y’all truly care unless it’s towards a dig to John. It’s like with Ted and his car accident and how republicans only bring up Mary Jo not because they gave a fuck about her but only to fucking take digs at democrats and Ted’s family.

It's so weird for people to think John crashed the plane purposefully, like the weather was horrible and he shouldn't have flown because although he had his pilot's license he hadn't done that much flying in that sort of weather especially at night. I think people see that John and Carolyn hit a bit of a rough patch before Rory's wedding and Carolyn didn't really want to go because she felt a little left out at the big family events. I have never seen anyone ignore the Bessette's loss and how they lost 2 of their daughters so I'm not sure where people get this perception that their grief is downplayed, maybe some do only focus on the fact that John and Carolyn died but leave out Lauren and that's not okay.

I would bet money that republicans that talk about Chapaquiddick could not name Mary Jo, they only know her as the girl Ted left because they don't give a fuck about her, they only care about making some insensitive joke.
