Novel in which the main character writes a brief diary before he dies. His doctor tells him that he has a fatal disease and has 3 months to live. As life left him alone, he decided to lock himself at home, surrounded by a few books and a few roses.
He thinks about life, about what I did, especially what he left undone, and about the meaning his life had. Written with depth, these are reflections on the soul, truth, the absolute, love, frivolity, jealousy. They show a return to faith, a rediscovery of grace.
