What happens when the person you thought you knew your whole life has a completely unknown past?
Valérie Perrin's first new novel since her breakout bestseller Fresh Water for Flowers is a compelling story about a woman determined to carve her own destiny.
Agnes learns that her beloved aunt Colette, her Tata, has died--three years after she was presumed dead. When Agnes returns home to the small country town of Gueugnon, she discovers the cassettes her aunt left behind and learns that Colette's life was far more complex and intricate than she could have ever imagined.
What begins as a riveting whydunit turns into a multigenerational family saga about trauma and forgiveness, resilience and reinvention, and the sacrifices made to live a life in full color.
★ A bewitching novel about found family and the transformative power of love.--Foreword Reviews (starred)
