Les éditions du Remue-ménage ont appris avec un immense chagrin le décès de Caroline Dawson.

Quotes by Caroline Dawson (?)

“Parce que c'est ma mère, elle qui a sacrifié chacun de ses jours et plusieurs de ses nuits pour me voir libérée des servilités et soumissions qui étaient les siennes, qui a souahaité le plus ma réussite. Parce qu'elle a prié la vierge Marie à genoux dans toutes les chapelles pour que j'échappe aux fatalités du destin social. Parce que même si je me contruisais contre elle en embrassant les codes qui l'excluent, j'ai produit sa fierté. Parce que la trahison que l'ascension suppose était non seulement attendue mais espérée.”
― Caroline Dawson, Là où je me terre

“Aujourd'hui, je prends acte du fait que je n'écris pas seulement mon histoire, mais plutôt que ces histoires m'ont écrites et forment les racines dans lesquelles je me suis inscrite.”
