Emile, a 12 year old girl with a boy's name, lives in Conception, a small, lost town in northern Quebec. She doesn't attend school; an old painter from Marseille named Liam educates her. He teaches her painting and the art of dreaming. While Emile innocently waters the opium plants that her father grows, another powerful narcotic blossoms - love. She only has eyes for Eduardo Luna, a young South American vicar with a devastating charm who just arrived to town. After a prostitute's dead body is found, followed by a child's drowning, life in Conception turns out to be not at all as it seems. From the opening pages, Mélanie Vincelette imposes her inimitable tone, that of intoxicating cruelty.
Mélanie Vincelette, born in Montreal in 1975, is a literature professor at the University of Quebec and contributes to the literary revue Zinc. She also manages Marchand de feuilles, a publishing house that she founded five years ago. Before this first novel, she published two collections of short stories.
