When artist Dominique receives a letter from her dying father, a reckoning with repressed memories and a pull for romantic and familial love sends shockwaves through her life, as she journeys to Paris to face the places and events of her early years. Balanced with visits to the Venezuelan Amazon, where Dominique explores a spiritual and loving longing (meeting a young guide, Juan), a raw and tender unfolding of this love story is a parallel to the uncovering of the shocking truth of Dominique’s birth, and her parents’ relationship. Urgent, haunting and topical, it is an intimate tale of suffering and reconciliation that will delight Pascale Petit’s wide existing audience, as well as find her new readers for this deeply relatable and unforgettable novel.
