In winter, writes Schopenhauer, when the cold sets in, porcupines huddle close together to keep warm but their needles prick each other and, uncomfortable, they move apart. After a while, the cold descends once again and they move close, trying to recapture some warmth. Thus they skuttle back and forth, a choice between two sufferings. Will they ever find, is it even possible to find, the perfect distance?

That is the story of Andara, the heroin of this novel, who falls in love at first sight of Henri, a passionate trumpet virtuoso. Their relationship is intense, fusional. He gives her security while she becomes his ideal feminine object. But this perfect exchange hides a deep suffering. Andara progressively feels more and more trapped and their beautiful love story shatters.

One evening at Châtelet, years later, they run into each other by accident and once again the magic of their mutual attraction pulls them irresistibly together. But this time, they ask themselves how not to ruin things once again. How can they reinvent their relationship into one more generous, less possessive? Can common sense coexist with passion?
