Description
Romy Paradis is never one to stay still for long. Backpack in tow, she tirelessly travels the world in search of freedom and discovery. Her latest stop: Belize, in the Caribbean. Elizabeth, her older sister, is a sought-after high-end broker. Her designer shoes, more expensive than a mortgage, are proof of that. In San Diego, where she has settled, she leads a dream life with her circle of perfect housewives. When their grandfather dies, the girls must urgently return to Quebec to settle the estate. Their destination is Saint-Archange-Deschamps, a small village lost in the middle of nowhere. Population? Too few! There, they learn that their grandfather, from whom they hadn't heard in years, had a close brush with death, running the only funeral home in the area... right on his property. Forced to extend their stay, they befriend the gentle Madeline, who cares for the deceased. While Romy will only have eyes for Étienne, the handyman, Beth will be drawn to Francis, the owner of the local restaurant. Faced with the storm, will they manage to reconcile grief, nostalgia, and unspoken words?
