Description
Uncle lives in a small seaside town on the French coast. He shares his house with his niece and nephew, who care for him when they could be doing something else.
A disabled veteran with odd habits, Uncle has a tendency to drink, hoard, and overindulge. His niece starts to watch his every move, from bathroom breaks to pill-swallowing, as the world begins to shut down. As their lives become increasingly intertwined, she finds herself relying on this man, her only companion.
This poignant novel explores the complex bond between a young woman and her disabled uncle, revealing the beauty in unexpected relationships and the resilience of the human spirit.
