While trying to unravel the fate of an ancestor banished by his family, a woman takes up the story of her own life. Years before, her husband, her first and great love, revealed to her that he was homosexual. Nothing is left unsaid about the upheaval that this caused in their lives or the ups and downs of their respective emancipation. This luminous novel is a lesson in courage, tolerance and curiosity. For this free woman never ceased to reinvent herself, to assert the power of her dreams against social convention, with infinite fantasy and delicacy.
