Description
Everything was supposed to set them against each other, but an invisible thread connects them to each other.
At the dawn of his adult life, Nicolas Laroche, in a fit of anger, causes an unfortunate accident that nearly costs young Jeanne her sight. He is then disowned by his father, who banishes him from his home and his life. Seventeen years later, Nicolas is still trying to forget his troubled past.
Jeanne Fontaine refuses to place Bernard, the man who raised her as his own daughter, in a long-term care facility. One evening, as the old man's health rapidly declines, she receives an unexpected request from him: he wishes to see his son again before he dies.
This son is Nicolas.
"It's not so much the light blue of his irises that strikes me. It's that scar at the corner of his left eye. It's my turn to stop breathing. His face is vaguely familiar."
