Within a year, Hélène, Anne, and Émilie lose their mother, then their father. Between the two deaths, David Bowie also takes his final bow. For Hélène, the singer’s passing is like Proust’s madeleine, sending her back to her teenage years.

And little by little, it becomes clear what these losses signify most of all for Hélène: her irrational need for her sisters, the only ones with whom she has shared the same childhood, the same parents, the same memories. A novel as spot-on as it is touching, with baffling and splendid sincerity.
