L’intrigue a pour centre névralgique le quartier de Berlose, sur les rives du lac Léman, habité par une communauté huppée et richissime avec comme point de chute Monaco, évidemment. La vie quotidienne n’est pas simple à Belrose, entre relations adultérines, égotismes de fortunes rapides et douteuses, mensonges de tous ordres.

Her parents spared no expense in the search for a cure, but medical experts assured them there was none. On a rare day when Annabel felt well enough to play outside, she was climbing an old hollowed-out tree when a branch snapped and she fell, head first, thirty feet down inside the tree. Miraculously, she survived the fall but was knocked unconscious. Rescued and later released from hospital, Annabel told her mother, 'you know I went to heaven when I was in that ...

This book is an exploration of the life and art of Maryse Condi, who first won international acclaim for Segu, a novel about West African experience and the slave trade.
