"Dr. Rainville, an old country doctor who has a deep attachment to his patients, is about to retire and is looking for a successor. Jeanne Dion, an emergency doctor from Montreal, agrees to come to Normétal to replace him for a few weeks, without considering staying any longer than necessary in the remote Quebec village. Normétal is a town in decline whose only large employer, a mine, closed three decades ago. Life is hard there, and a doctor's relationship with his patients is much closer than Jeanne is used to after her experience in a large hospital's emergency ward. When the old doctor dies, Jeanne must decide whether to stay and accept a responsibility that comes with much more commitment than she had planned on."--Container.

"Le docteur Rainville, un vieux médecin de campagne très attaché à ses patients, doit prendre sa retraite et cherche un remplaçant. Jeanne Dion, une urgentologue de Montréal, accepte de venir le remplacer à Normétal pendant quelques semaines, mais elle ne pense pas demeurer plus longtemps dans ce village éloigné du Québec. Normétal est un village sur le déclin, dont la seule entreprise majeure, une mine, a fermé il y a trente ans. La vie y est difficile et le rapport avec les patients, beaucoup plus intime que celui qua connu Jeanne à lurgence dun grand hôpital. À la mort du vieux médecin, Jeanne doit décider si elle reste ou non au village et si elle accepte une responsabilité qui lengage bien au-delà de ce quelle entrevoyait."--Conteneur.
