| On the same fateful day, two adolescents escape destinies that would scar them for the rest of their lives. Romain, awkward and contemplative, resolves to abandon a lineage of wealth. à léna, resourceful and single-minded, flees a home of blood and thunder. From the initial meeting of these two wounded souls, Christine Eddie weaves a fable for all times. As the story ensnares others within its elegant web â a doctor nursing a bruised heart, a teacher harbouring dark secrets â the struggles of a family of singular character transform Eddie's luminous tale into an ode to friendship, a sonnet on our relationship with nature, and a passionate elegy to love. |
