When Gilles Principaux walks into Maître Susane's law office
seeking representation for his wife, his presence triggers memories
from her childhood she had long buried. Gilles's wife is charged
with drowning their three children and the media are circling
around what will be one of the biggest trials in Bordeaux. So why
has he chosen the small legal practice of a lawyer he seems not to
recognise? Maître Susane can't shake the feeling that she has met
him before, that something happened between them one afternoon when
she was barely ten and he was fourteen, something that she has
never known how to remember. As she works on one of the biggest
cases of her career, her own sense of what is true and not true
will draw her into an uneasy reckoning with her past. Translated
from the French by Jordan Stump.
