Here are some short stories whose title might suggest that they are pre-funeral. But there you have it, there is "or almost"... Which covers in bulk an overly sensitive assassin, dead bees playing a major role in two lives that are complete opposites, a bank employee for whom Père-Lachaise will be not an end, but the beginning of something, and two lonely women engaged in a fight to the death against something that is beyond them, suffocating them... or trying to.

Joëlle Pétillot pays attention to things and beings with empathy and emotion. She shares with the reader her intelligence of life and makes him discover the other side of the world, the one that, alienated by everyday life, he has resigned himself to letting escape forever. With her alert, lively and cheerful pen, she charms him, and he entrusts his imagination to her in complete tranquility.

If art is a detour that makes us open our eyes wide to the world, then Joëlle Pétillot is an artist with soft, fine hands who lifts, with infinite delicacy — and a mischievous smile — the veil that separates us from life.

kakouet, opération masse critique de Babelio
Ecriture agréable

[...]La plume est légère, parfois pleine d'humour, parfois très tendre, on sent surtout beaucoup d'amour de l'humain et la volonté de transmettre du mieux possible les émotions, les sensations, les petits frémissements de l'âme.
La première et la dernière nouvelle sont pour moi des réussites en ce sens.
J'avoue avoir été beaucoup moins séduite par le Lierre, qui m'a paru presque déconnectée du reste du recueil.[...]
