Spring 2007. Agathe watches her plants growing. A teacher in a grammar-school, she is lost « in the middle of nowhere ». Single, she is 38 years old, and ails at a constant fear of abandonment. She has not been actually raised by her hippy mother. Only when she scatters the ashes of that whimsical mother, Agathe’s memories come back to life, allowing her to retrieve herself and find love. In the meantime one of her student disappears.
Dordogne is blooming anew, the news keep providing information, there are always films to watch and a Lou Reed or a Brassens song in some part of her head. One follows Agathe and her colourful friends through their dialogues which are imparting a wider sense of freedom to the story.
Marie-Christine Cavenelle’s first novel is permeated with emotion and friendships, which confers a newer life pulse to the heart of the Périgord countryside.
