When France was liberated, her parents chose to raise their little girl as a French Catholic. When, not long after the death of her mother, she questions the silence that has locked up her whole life with a false identity, she finds herself at the edge of an enigmatic abyss. It will take her eight years to reconstruct her true identity, starting with the belated story from her mother, consigned to a notebook and completed by interviews with her. An authentic story, an essential testimony and a fascinating novel about the fate of an endearing family, caught in the torment of the dark 20th century.
