Résumé
"A storm that lasts for five days forces the four protagonists of this novel to stay locked up in Ana and Pedro's house in the foothills of the Andes. The roads are cut off and there is almost no telephone… signal, let alone internet. The rain, which falls with supernatural force, seems like a punishment. Rebeca, their daughter, quickly develops feelings for Ana's nephew Vicente, who was born in Paris during his family's exile after the military coup, and who is in Chile for the first time. Separated by silence and secrecy, the family has not been in contact since 1973. The young man's visit restores contact, but at the same time hides a threat that could destabilize Ana and her whole world. She too becomes involved in an ambiguous relationship with Vicente: fear and fascination grow as the hours pass." -- Translation provided by NLS
