Summary: | During a picnic on the shores of Lake Geneva, Summer, nineteen, disappears. She leaves a last image: that of a blond girl running in ferns, denim shorts, long bare legs. Disappeared in the wind, in the trees, in the water. Or elsewhere? Twenty-five years have passed. His younger brother Benjamin is overwhelmed by the memory. Summer arises in her dreams, spectral and graceful, and awakens the secrets of a family frozen in silence and appearances. How do we live with ghosts? Monica Sabolo wrote a powerful, poetic, overwhelming novel.--Translation of page 4 of cover by JCLattès.
