On this wind-battered island, where the cliffs plunge into the sea and the heath stretches endlessly, everything is organized among the women. The men work at sea or on the mainland. For everyone, the island remains a refuge—magnetic and peaceful. However, one day, while taking a walk with her class, little Raph disappears into the mist, and when the fog lifts, the child remains untraceable. As the women organize a search and worry sets in, the surrounding nature begins to resonate with a troubled and wild story.
In this debut novel that takes us far from everything, Estelle Rocchitelli makes us hear, one by one, the voices of these women, telling their stories and the powerful bond that unites them.
