From the French author of Helene comes this labyrinthine narrative of a love triangle set in Switzerland during the first half of the century. We follow tangled threads that lead to dead ends or new discoveries as the relationships between pastor's son Jacques Jean Todi, the haunting Russian woman Baladine Nikolaivna, and poet Luc Pascal ebb and flow. A melancholy and romantic novel with a lyrical flow that is at times revealing, at others oddly convoluted.
