«La dernière leçon» is the account by Noëlle Châtelet published by Points in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The narrator writes a letter to her mother following the latter's decision to end her life. Over the last shared days, she reconstructs their relationship and reflects on old age, death, and the possibility of a dignified farewell. The work turns grief into a lesson in love and life.
