While on vacation with her family in Valencia, Claire Halde witnesses a shocking event that becomes the catalyst for a protracted downward spiral and a profound personal unravelling as she struggles to come to grips with her role in the incident.

This haunting novel, which unfolds across three timelines set in as many decades, takes the listener on a dark journey through the minds of three women whose pasts, presents, and futures are decided by a single encounter on a scorching summer afternoon.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Perreault excels at creating a sense of place; she makes Valencia feel barren, hot, arid, menacing, and impenetrable (...) a promising debut novel.” — Jacqueline Snider, Library Journal

“A dark debut (...) Bewitching sentences tend to flow out of Quebec, and Perreault’s novel is full of them.” — Rose Hendrie, Literary Review of Canada

“In candid, free-flowing prose, Perreault explores through (three women) the multiple meanings running can have: both as a means of escape and also a way to push yourself forward.” — Jade Colbert, Globe and Mail
