An entry in the forty woman returns to the town where he once lived in Brittany, near the small community of Dinard, France. There he meets his old piano teacher: an old woman with a relentless memory that follows the rite of his life with the calm of learning to assert their condition. Slowly Claire, the protagonist begins to regain his old life. He moved with his teacher, meets his first and only great love takes root and holds firmly to the nature of its origins. Embarks on a journey deep described with disconcerting beauty, into itself and gradually stop trying to understand the world to simply inhabit, contemplate. The characters that revolve around the life of Claire-a younger sister who is mistress of a priest, a daughter whom he has not seen for twenty years, the sea, the rocks, the silences and the horizon appear and disappear the narrative showing great mastery of Quignard to set a chorus of voices emanating a powerful song that recalls an ancient time. A time progresses so inclement eroding everything in its path. "Life is the most poignant reminder of the time that has produced this world," says Pascal Quignard the mysterious solidarity. The pages of this book are populated from the depths that humans possess: our ability to find on the other, on the other, the meaning of our own lives.
