About This Book
"En Louisiane, tout le monde croit aux esprits. Lanesha, elle, a le don de les voir. "Tu es comme moi, ma chérie, tu as un don de double vue ", lui a expliqué Mama Ya-Ya, la sage-femme qui l'a recueillie à sa naissance. Mama Ya-Ya savait qu'un ouragan approchait, bien avant que la radio et la télévision n'en parlent. Les dégâts seront incommensurables, répète le présentateur.
