Neuware - EXPECTING'There are lots of children who are never born, and adults who have not been brought into this world. Death has closed the eyes of the lost and opened those of the survivors, so that both are now perfectly lucid. I wish I were a little less so.'The first-person narrator here is Angèle Videau, sister of Arielle, daughter of Armelle and Denis, a discreet presence in this novel about women. Three generations of women, from Mané to Armelle, from Armelle to Angèle. Three generations, and not one more.We meet Angèle in the waiting room at a doctor's surgery, sitting with her hands resting over her waist which is swollen with hope. While, before her eyes, future mothers and young children act out their usual ballet, Angéle speaks to Eric. The princely Eric she so longs for and carries within her, and that she hopes to tame. This is an opportunity to reassess her dreams and memories, and to fill places that have been left empty.Why were neither of her parents loved by their mothers Why is it so difficult to have a child in this family Would her life be a failure if she didn't bring life into it So many questions, and all of Angèle's questions remain unanswered.Because Expecting is a feeling of deficiency; a heart beating quietly, ugliness gradually propagating fear, a body that is so dry and soon, if they are not careful, this dwindling family will find the dead have supplanted the living.Angèle wishes she was not so lucid but for Eric's sake she has revealed everything. An unwavering, almost clinical view of those close to her and of herself; one that reveals - with a violence held in check by her tenderness - all the secrets, longings and hopes that could not or would not be expressed.By using one young woman's point of view and the sketched lives of women she meets, Expecting succeeds in touching on the universal: motherhood, womanhood, blood ties and life force.Capucine Ruat was born in 1975. Her first novel, Celle qui ne parle pas, was published by Stock in 2006.…

Il y a beaucoup d'enfants qui ne naissent jamais, et des adultes qu'on n'a pas mis au monde. La mort a fermé les yeux des disparus et ouvert ceux des survivants, tous deux sont à présent parfaitement lucides. J'aimerais l'être moins.
Celle qui dit je, c'est Angèle Videau, soeur d'Arielle, fille d'Armelle et du père, une apparition dans ce roman de femmes. Des femmes sur trois générations, de Mané à Armelle, d'Armelle à Angèle. Trois générations, pas une de plus.
On rencontre Angèle dans la salle d'attente d'un cabinet médical, les mains posées sur un ventre qu'elle a gonflé d'espérance. Alors que se déploie sous ses yeux le ballet des futures mères, des jeunes enfants et de celles qui les ont enfantés, Angèle s'adresse à Éric. Ce prince Éric qu'elle désire de toutes ses forces et porte en elle, elle tente de l'apprivoiser. L'occasion de convoquer les rêves, les souvenirs et de combler les places laissées vides.
Pourquoi les désamours et à quel point le manque ? A-t-on raté sa vie quand on ne la donne pas ? Il y a les questions, toutes les questions d'Angèle et qui demeurent sans réponse.
Car J'attends, c'est la sensation d'une carence; le coeur bat en sourdine, la laideur, celle qui ne s'altère pas finit par saisir d'effroi, le corps est sec et, si l'on n'y prend garde, bientôt, dans cette famille qui s'amenuise comme une peau de chagrin, les morts auront supplanté les vivants.
Angèle aimerait être moins lucide mais pour Éric, elle a tout déballé. Un regard sans filtre, quasi clinique, qu'elle offre sur les siens et sur elle-même et qui révèle, dans une violence contenue et dans le sang, parfois, les secrets, les envies, les pensées honteuses, tout ce qu'on n'a pas su et pas pu dire.
J'attends est un roman qui, à travers le point de vue d'une jeune femme et les brèves d'existence de celles qu'elle raconte, les anecdotes, le quotidien, réussit à approcher l'universel: la maternité, la féminité, le lien du sang et la mort.
