Summary:	After a woman, Clarisse, is murdered on a trip to visit her mother in Bordeaux, her daughter tries to uncover what happened to her with the help of a brown dog who appears to have taken in the spirit of the deceased. Clarisse's husband and daughter know nothing of her mother, Ladivine, and Clarisse has hidden nearly every aspect of her adult life from this woman, a housecleaner. After more than twenty-five years of deception the middle-class existence Clarisse has built from scratch can no longer survive inside the walls she's put up to protect it. She finds comfort in the embrace of Freddy, a volatile man. When Clarisse is murdered her daughter, who also bears the name Ladivine, needs to work out who her mother was and what happened to her.
