Sarah Barry, an apparently happy wife and mother, resigned from the HR department of a large corporation in order to give herself a year to write. But now that she finally has the time she needs, the trap of domesticity seems to be closing in on her.

It starts with exhaustion and hair loss, and then there are those throbbing headaches.
When he’s not traveling on business, her husband coddles her, then tries to browbeat her into snapping out of it, interrogates her. Leading their son into a dance that’s spinning out of control. Unless it’s all in her head?

With a spell-binding style and pace, a sort of noir refrain in which vampires are garbed in the finery of affection, Émilie Guillaumin’s third book offers an uncompromising look at couples and motherhood.
