Chaque annee, a l'occasion de la Saint-Valentin, le Cafe des Coeurs Retrouves devient un lieu a part. Sur un panneau de liege, les clients sont invites a accrocher anonymement un message d'amour qu'ils n'ont jamais ose exprimer. Elise, la proprietaire du cafe, observe ces confidences avec bienveillance et discretion. A trente-sept ans, elle a construit une vie stable, un refuge chaleureux pour les autres, convaincue d'avoir tourne la page de son propre passe sentimental. Mais ce 14 fevrier, un message attire son attention. Une ecriture familiere. Des mots qu'elle reconnait immediatement. Des mots qui reveillent une histoire qu'elle croyait apaisee. A mesure que la journee avance, les silences se chargent de sens, les regards se cherchent, et les souvenirs refont surface. Celui qui a ecrit ce message est-il revenu ? Et Elise est-elle prete a ecouter ce que son coeur tente encore de lui dire ? Entre douceur, humour delicat et emotions contenues, Le Cafe des Coeurs Retrouves est un roman contemporain sur le courage d'aimer, la puissance des mots non dits et les secondes chances que l'on choisit, en conscience. Un recit lumineux et reconfortant, qui celebre l'amour sincere, la presence, et la beaute des recommencements.
