About
Sophie, a 20-year-old volunteer in Dakar, has to come home to celebrate Christmas with her family. The table is set, the Christmas dinner is ready, the garlands twinkle. Everyone is waiting for her. But Sophie does not come back. Accident? Hostage? Fugue? Her mother Virginie, father-in-law Gabriel, her half-sister Chloé, her grandfather René, and even her father Antoine and his wife Fanny: all went to Senegal to look for her. Virginie has the impression that everything she has tried to build leaves adrift. Her daughter disappeared. Antoine and Gabriel clash violently. Fanny fiercely hates him. Without any benchmarks in this unknown country, all are forced to overcome their prejudices and confront hidden sufferings.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Babelio
