A noir novel about friendship, solidarity, and commitment, at the heart of a fractured France.
Sabrina’s daily life: two children, a mother, two ex-husbands, and the fifteen students in the preschool class where she works as a teaching assistant. So when Iryna, who fled Ukraine and the Russian bombs, bursts into her life, she can’t imagine how much her small world will be shaken. The young woman didn’t come alone; two unsettling men, with an Eastern European accent, have appeared in the neighborhood, questioning the residents.
Just days before a presidential election marked by disinterest and hatred, as the country wonders about the economic consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the situation becomes increasingly tense.
Supported by her friends Zineb and Mathilde, Sabrina will have to confront all her demons—and especially those of others.
