Sylve and the commitments of care

Explore the collection: Forthcoming books

On Sylve, living tissue becomes a remedy. But Noé’s words force Tessa Orin to examine what the treatments transmit alongside hoped-for healing. Between one particular child and patients scattered across several planets, no decision stays inside the laboratory. The forest opens an intimate inquiry into memory, without confusing the traces of a life with the person who lived it.

01

Tessa Orin

Then he says words that should not belong to him. Where do they come from? What do the tissues used to treat him retain? Tessa must distinguish a memory, a symptom and a will that others claim to recognize.

02

Heal without taking away a future

Sylve’s treatments sustain lives far beyond the forest. Stopping a practice to protect Noé could take away another patient’s chance. Continuing it could impose a future the child has not chosen.

03

Biological and intimate mystery

Ce que la forêt garde explores memory, care and consent. The third volume of L’Année des 5 Mondes uncovers another side of the events linking Orme’s planets, through a child and the people trying to protect him.
