Gilles is blithely unaware that any of this is out of the ordinary, as he and his friend Christophe try and piece together a world from fragments of rumour and hushed adult conversation. There is a deeper trauma here, however, far more shocking that Gilles could have dreamt of - a mystery it will take the events of this novel and eight years to resolve...
