On her terrace, one mild summer evening, Mamie-Rose rereads the letters Oscar wrote to God. She smiles as she thinks of this little boy she was so close to.
“Good evening, Mamie-Rose.”
The old lady raises her head: “Oscar? That’s funny… I was just thinking about you.”
Mamie-Rose lives and exchanges with her memories, more alive than ever. The tenderness between these two is infinite, one expressing all his anger at the injustice of the illness, the other hiding her feelings under her brusqueness as a former wrestler. Heartbreaking.
A graphic novel adaptation of the eponymous novel, where Mamie Rose is the “pink lady” who comes to visit Oscar at the children’s hospital. The letters he wrote to her describe twelve days of his life.
From 12 years old
