Abstract to the book "Breath of the lake" Robinson M.:Ruth. Tall and angular, she keeps a low profile— unlike Lucille's pretty little sister, a giggler and a fashionista. Orphaned early, the girls live in a provincial town in a mountainous state, and they are looked after by a whole series of elderly relatives, until the flighty and eccentric Sylvie, their late mother's sister, appears in the house. Sylvie likes to sleep outside, meets the sunrise on a boat in the middle of the lake, spends her evenings in a dark room enjoying the silence, wanders aimlessly through the forest all day... Is this an empty, meaningless existence or the achievement of higher spirituality? The two sisters have different opinions about Aunt's strange habits: Lucille hardly accepts them, but Ruth finds a kindred spirit in Sylvie.Robinson's transparent, lyrical and meditative prose, which has been awarded many prestigious literary awards, plunges the reader into a waking dream that opens up new horizons and degrees of freedom.
