This mesmerizing novel is about a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in a rectory and works in a dance hall. Gradually she embarks upon a "personal project" she digs pits in the rectory garden and "looks for the dead."

In all three novels, Redonnet has said, "it is the women who fight, who seek, who create."
