RUEL, Francine: Ma mère est un flamant roseElle tait minuscule et elle prenait toute la place. Avec sa voix rauque, voix de fumeuse, voix de femme dtermine, elle en imposait du haut de ses cinq pieds, juche en permanence sur des talons aiguilles. Elle passait ses journes debout, travailler sans relche, et ce n'est qu'une fois la maison, brise de fatigue, qu'elle acceptait de descendre de cette plateforme qui semblait lui permettre de tout contrler, de tout diriger. L'homme de la maison, c'tait

« Elle était minuscule et elle prenait toute la place. Avec sa voix rauque, voix de fumeuse, voix de femme déterminée, elle en imposait du haut de ses cinq pieds, juchée en permanence sur des talons aiguilles. Elle passait ses journées debout, à travailler sans relâche, et ce n'est qu'une fois à la maison, brisée de fatigue, qu'elle acceptait de descendre de cette plateforme qui semblait lui permettre de tout contrôler, de tout diriger. L'homme de la maison, c'était elle, Mado, ma mère. Enfin, ce qu'était devenue ma mère, après. Parce qu'il y a eu un avant.

J'ai le souvenir, dans ma petite enfance, d'une mère joyeuse, d'une mère radieuse, pleine de vie. Je l'admirais, je la craignais, je l'aimais énormément. Je l'ai détestée aussi. Je lui en voulais d'être trop originale, pas tout à fait comme les mères normales de mon entourage ; je lui reprochais tout bas d'être à la fois la mère et le père. Cet “adorable inconscient”, comme le qualifiait ma mère, avait quitté la maison alors qu'elle n'avait que trente-deux ans et cinq enfants. Elle a tenu à bout de bras pendant vingt ans cette famille constituée de filles uniquement.

Dans ce livre, j'ai tracé une esquisse de cette femme qui a été ma mère et qui est partie trop vite, en mélangeant anecdotes et réflexions, moments dramatiques et humoristiques, en me promenant entre l'avant et l'après départ de mon père. De courts chapitres, de petits tableaux ne livrant que les impressions qui restent en mémoire, pour raconter celle que j'ai eu très peu de temps pour côtoyer. »

Good value for the money.
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
This partition package is a great value. I looked at many options and this one had long length to cover an entire room with the six partitions. The pieces went together easily, took about 30 minutes to assemble and has the needed Allen wrench included. It is stable with no fear of being easily knocked down. The black fabric does not completely hide everything and if there is a light on the inside, it can illuminate what is going on. It does the job but if you wanted complete privacy you would need thicker material. Overall it does what I need in that it make a TV room into a kind of guest room of sorts.

Worked amazing during christmas
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
We had a ton of people over for Christmas so I had to make an extra place for someone to sleep so I used these and surrounded an air mattress and made a small shelter basically. The dividers are light but sturdy , not heavy duty of course but not expected for this price. They do an excellent job of blocking out light and are not see thru and worked very well. Assembly was straight forward and even comes with an included wrench but I used my own to speed the process. 100% satisfied

Satisfactory
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
Everything was advertised. But the box it was shipped in was torn up pretty bad and taped up to compensate. Nevertheless, the product itself was not damaged.

Easy to use.
Color: Grey, Size: 6 Panel
These are easy to put together and to use. We have used them with all the panels. We have also used them broke down into 2 and 3 panels. They work well for blocking views. They don't block noise or help quiet the room being used, however. Only bad thing about them. We use them for our Auxiliary meetings.

Easy to assemble. Still used for over a year 🙌🏾
Color: White, Size: 6 Panel
Everything is perfect! I would buy again in other colors and heights if I need additional separation in the basement.
