"Dragnic writes with exquisite sensitivity about those hard-to-reach spots in the human soul; her prose is incantatory and true." Rachel Cantor, author of "Half-Life of a Stolen Sister"An eye-opening road trip through France and a fateful encounter. A lonely mother without a child and a passionate bookshop owner. An antique mirror and a mysterious book. One sunny spring day in Dijon, a fearless forty-eight-year-old German businesswoman sits down in a cake shop with a thirteen-year younger vulnerable French bookseller. "My son is dead," Brigitte announces. Christian pretends not to hear it and devours two pieces of cake - fearfully seeing his divorced wife in every dark-haired woman passing by: a love lost. A taboo. They spend the day together. And then another one. And another one. And one day, they go dancing. A daring waltz filled with desire and delight. Two broken hearts. Two fugitives on the quest in a starless night. In their agony and despair, in spite of their differences and secrets, against all odds, they become close. Surprisingly close. As a thunderstorm approaches... A story of letting go, forgetting, and forgiving. Of new beginnings, friendship, and passion. An ode to hope, courage, and faith.
