The life of a gallery owner Ava is like a picture from a glossy magazine: a beautiful house, adorable husband Xavier, daughter and son - the joy of mom and dad, a favorite thing. But one day fate intervenes in a family life full of love and happiness, and everything collapses. In the safe house of Ava and Xavier, grief and doubts settle in each other, and the stamina and fortitude of the characters of the novel are seriously tested. They have a long way ahead through temptations and fears to a new understanding of themselves. They have to understand not only their relationships, but also relationships with other people with whom they are connected by chance. In this book, young Frenchwoman Agnès Martin-Lugan, author of the bestselling book Happy People Read Books and Drink Coffee and other poignant love stories that have won worldwide success, peers into new facets of this eternal feeling.
