A novel about relationships, in which two sisters make peace in order to unveil the mystery of a lost mother and a broken family.

Nora doesn’t recognise anyone at her father’s funeral. After all, she hasn’t been in touch with any of these people, old friends and relatives, for over forty years, except for her sister Apolline. It is to them that the solicitor appointed to read the will entrusts a diary written by their mother about what happened after she ran away from the family. Devastated by the discovery of so many details concerning their parents, the daughters decide to follow the woman’s tracks. A moving journey between present and past in order to close a circle and discover that some bonds are so strong that they survive any abandonment.
