A haunting novel about a lineage of women possessed by their land
Emilienne's life is Paradise, her isolated farm at the end of a
winding path. After the sudden death of her daughter and
son-in-law, this is where she farms alone, with her courage and her
land as her only resources, along with her two little
grandchildren: Blanche and Gabriel. As seasons pass, Blanche grows
older and develops an even stronger connection to her home and the
generations of women who have guarded it, like her mother and
grandmother before her. When she meets Alexandre, Blanche falls
into a devastatingly deep love from which she can never recover.
Alexandre, devoured by his ambition, wishes to move to the city to
make a name for himself, while the passion Blanche dedicates to
Paradise dominates her completely. Almost immediately, their
differences become irreconcilable, tearing their worlds apart.
Years later, when Alexandre shows up once again on her doorstep,
ingratiating himself back into her life, Blanche believes that now
she can finally be happy again. But all is not what it seems when
there is darkness lurking at every corner-and Blanche would do
anything to protect Paradise.
