Polars au féminin : "La Grosse" de Sandrine Collette

A young woman grapples with the impending death of her aunt, who is gravely ill and bedridden. The aunt's deteriorating health creates a heavy atmosphere as the niece struggles with feelings of loneliness and anxiety about her future. The aunt warns her to be cautious of the villagers, who have historically shown disdain for them. Despite her aunt's reassurances, the niece is overwhelmed by the thought of being left alone and the burden of managing their home.

After the aunt passes away, the niece faces the grim reality of disposing of her body. She contemplates the logistics of moving her aunt's remains and ultimately places her outside for collection, believing it to be the only practical solution. When questioned by the mayor about the situation, she feigns maturity, claiming to be 18 years old, and avoids revealing her true feelings of vulnerability and fear of being sent to an orphanage.

In the wake of her aunt's death, the niece begins to attract the attention of local children, who initially mock her but soon become drawn to her for food and companionship. As she feeds them and builds a rapport, she finds a sense of purpose and joy in nurturing them. However, the situation takes a darker turn when one of the children goes missing, prompting a police investigation. The niece reflects on her actions and the secrets she keeps, revealing a complex interplay of survival, loneliness, and the lengths she will go to maintain her newfound connections.
