For seventeen years, Alex lived with a false version of her family's past. One call from a notary, and the familiar world crumbled like a house of cards. She believed her father had died long ago; it turned out he died today. But why did her mother need this lie?

Alex's search for the truth leads her to her grandmother's house: to a walled-up room, a painting with a complex history, and diaries meant for private viewing. The more answers she finds, the more clearly she realizes: some secrets are kept not out of shame, but out of a desperate desire to protect loved ones.

Sophie Astraby's new novel is an elegant restoration of a family portrait in which the faces were deliberately painted over. The author intertwines the destinies of three women from different eras—from the gloomy pre-war Paris, through provincial France in the 1970s, to the present day. Thus is born a saga of love that proves stronger than oblivion.
