Tandis que ses filles prennent leur envol, elle nous emmène aux quatre coins du monde, de New York aux îles Saroniques en passant par Mumbai, Paris ou Berlin, tissant une méditation exaltante et follement intime sur le sens d'une maison et les fantômes qui la hantent. Entremêlant le passé et le présent, le personnel et le politique, la philosophie et l'histoire littéraire, convoquant Marguerite Duras ou Céline Sciamma, elle interroge avec acidité et humour le sens de la féminité et de la propriété.

Un divorce forcément douloureux, une grande maison victorienne troquée contre un appartement en haut d'une colline dans le nord de Londres, deux filles à élever et des factures qui s'accumulent... Deborah Levy a cinquante ans quand elle décide de tout reconstruire, avec pour tout bagage, un vélo électrique et une plume d'écrivain. L'occasion pour elle de revenir sur le drame pourtant banal d'une femme qui s'est jetée à corps perdu dans la quête du foyer parfait, un univers qui s'est révélé répondre aux besoins de tous sauf d'elle-même.

Deborah Levy revient sur sa vie. Elle fuit à Majorque pour réfléchir et se retrouver, et pense à l'Afrique du Sud, ce pays qu'elle a quitté, à son enfance, à l'apartheid, à son père – militant de l'ANC emprisonné –, aux oiseaux en cage, et à l'Angleterre, son pays d'adoption. Telle la marquise Cabrera se délectant du 'chocolat magique', elle est devenue écrivaine en lisant Marguerite Duras et Virginia Woolf.

Deborah Levy empieza a escribir este libro cuando, con cincuenta años, se ve forzada a reinventarse: su matrimonio ha terminado, sus ingresos escasean, su madre se está muriendo y sus hijas empiezan a abandonar el nido. En un momento en que la vida tendría que volverse plácida e imperturbable,Levy decide abrazar el caos y la inestabilidad a cambio de recuperar, oculto bajo capas y capas de resignación, un nombre propio.

Deborah Levy imagina una casa en una latitud cálida, cerca de un lago o de un mar. Allí hay una chimenea y un mayordomo que atiende sus deseos, hasta el de discutir. Pero Levy en realidad está en Londres, no tiene dinero para construir el hogar que imagina, su apartamento es minúsculo y lo más parecido a un jardín en su casa es un banano al que entrega los cuidados que sus hijas ya no necesitan.

22 writers talk about their memorable excursions and the act of walking, and share their creative observations. In these six series, taken from BBC Radio 3's The Essay, an array of novelists, poets, journalists and biographers chart the varied and inspiring walks they have taken around Britain and elsewhere. Here are treks taken at daybreak and after dark; in winter and in spring; in the footsteps of the past; and - in the case of Robert Macfarlane - along the ridges of the South Downs.
