«Il serait temps que je meure, sinon je vais vous fatiguer. C'est toi qui te fatigues : tu ne t'ennuies pas, toute la journée à ne rien faire ? Je ne m'ennuie jamais. Quand je n'aurai plus rien à faire, je deviendrai enfin bonne. » Une nuit, la narratrice rêve que sa mère, handicapée et malvoyante, parcourt à pied dans l'obscurité les cent kilomètres qui les séparent. Ce rêve inaugure un temps durant lequel, dans la « grande et brave maison » où la mère voudrait mourir parmi les siens, se renoue un lien ambivalent mais tenace. Cinq ans plus tard, la presque centenaire assumera avec courage la nécessité de son placement dans un établissement de soins. Cet exil se doublera du confinement imposé par la pandémie, la voix de la mère au téléphone constituant l'unique vecteur de sa révolte. La mort l'emportera sans qu'elle ait pu revoir ses enfants. Mais ce qu'elle a voulu faire de sa fin offrira une lumineuse consolation au désarroi familial.
