Catherine Pancol's new trilogy is about beautiful women who dance their dance of life in New York and Paris, London and Saint-Chalan. Men?.. They exist too. But women rule the roost here. Fiery, inventive, loving, they fight for their destiny and do not want to give up.

The main character of this book is Stella Valenti, a blue-eyed beauty who deals with scrap metal and wears orange work overalls, hiding a tender, trembling heart. Stella's house is guarded by three large dogs, she raises her son alone, and the boy's father only occasionally comes to them at night. What secrets of the past will Stella have to deal with once and for all?
