In his Corsican village he's the simpleton, the man no one talks to, not since he was condemned for murder. But who killed the lovely Florence?
He's never referred to as Antoine Orsini in this village perched in the Corsican mountains, but baoul, the village idiot. Marginal, strange, clownish, a sorcerer, a scapegoat, Antoine talks to his chair, telling it his own story, other people's stories, and how he knew Florence Biancarelli, a sixteen-year-old girl found dead among the pine trees in the 1980s. Who is guilty? We are taken deep into the language, the poetry and the very different world of a simple-minded man... until we learn the cruel truth.
