Summary:
"The first volume in the beloved novelist Marie-Claire Blais' prize-winning novel cycle - acclaimed as one of the greatest undertakings in modern Quebec fiction - reissued in a handsome A List edition. A sun-drenched paradise in the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by the glimmering blue sea; Renata is convalescing on this island poised between two worlds: between great wealth and extreme poverty, between the past and an uncertain future, between the beauty of the world and the horrors of history."-- Provided by publisher.
