Douro Editions "Through reading, we become absent from ourselves and our own lives." Alphonse Karr
Coralie Akiyama
After the death of her parents, Shiera tries to rebuild her life by any means necessary. Her encounter with Renji, a regular customer at her cafe, gradually lifts her from her monotonous life. The young woman sees the birth of their son as an opportunity to quit her job, but the family must face the consequences of this action. Tired of waiting every night for her partner to return, Shiera relies on her regular escapades to give her a new lease on life. A few years later, she makes a discovery that plunges her into inner chaos and completely disrupts the bond she has forged with her son.
