Comment poursuivre une vie rompue? Tout s'ecroule a l'automne 1942 pour Helene Waysbord, alors agee de 6 ans: ses parents sont deportes, elle, cachee a la campagne. La petite fille a la vie sauve mais l'identite brisee. Seule la nuit demeure, avec Homere pour l'eclairer: le mythe parle a une enfant de la Shoah. En une suite de courts chapitres vagabondant entre le present, son passe et la nuit des temps de la mythologie, Helene Waysbord raconte comment la figure d'Achille a donne un sens a sa vie personnelle, mais egalement a sa vie de femme engagee dans notre histoire contemporaine, du cataclysme de la Shoah a aujourd'hui. Les drames des vies dans la guerre comme le massacre perpetre dans une eglise lors d'un attentat terroriste bouleversent la narratrice et la renvoient au recit mythique de l'Iliade pour comprendre la violence du present. Au crepuscule d'une existence bien remplie dont elle rapporte ici des fragments fulgurants, Helene Waysbord partage une conviction dont elle est la preuve vivante: toute vie est un bricolage mythologique.
