1968. Paris. Suzanne is a Parisian, the daughter of a banker. She is burdened by the measured bourgeois life of her apparently prosperous family. Magda has just moved with her father from the GDR to West Berlin. She is trying to regain her memory, lost after some terrible shock. Greek woman Cleomene is a communist, she flees to Paris from the dictatorship of the “black colonels” who are persecuting her entire family. They are 18. And yes, they have something to be furious about! This dizzying novel opens up to the reader like an old chest full of secrets: archival photographs, maps, fragments of diaries and... letters.
