Description
A contemporary novel of secrets and lost love, set against the eerie backdrop of an abandoned house in rural France. When Eve falls for Dom, their whirlwind relationship leads them to purchase Les Genevriers, a run-down old house with a mysterious past. As the summer turns to autumn, Eve becomes increasingly entangled in the secrets surrounding Dom's first wife, Rachel, and the house itself seems to come alive with strange events unfolding. As she delves deeper into the tangled history of Les Genevriers, Eve's voice becomes intertwined with that of Benedicte Lincel, a girl who lived in the house decades before. With each passing day, the tension between Dom and Eve grows, as they race against time to unravel the dark secrets of Les Genevriers' past. Will they be able to uncover the truth behind Rachel's disappearance, or will the house's history repeat itself?
