Description
After bonding with Hélene, an almost 100-year-old resident, the two women slowly reveal their stories to one another. Whilst Justine helps Hélene to relive her memories of love and war, Hélene encourages Justine to confront the secrets of her own past, and the loss she has buried deep within.
One day, trouble arrives in the form of a mysterious phone call that shakes the retirement home to its core and uncovers a shocking revelation. At once humorous and melancholic, Valérie Perrin’s debut novel is a story of how the past can shape our present, and the scars of undeclared love.
