Claire, 29, who lives permanently in Europe, travels to Tokyo for the summer to see her grandparents. In her heart, she cherishes a longtime dream of taking them to Korea, her native country, from which they fled more than fifty years ago during the civil war.
Periodically, the girl visits the Korean neighborhood in Tokyo, and also spends time with little Mieko. Teaching the girl French, the heroine tries to remember the language of her ancestors. Faced with silence and oblivion, Claire wants to restore the connections destroyed decades ago by the ruthless force of history.
Elise Dusapen's precise and concise style immerses the reader in an atmosphere of tenderness on the one hand and latent violence on the other. She perfectly describes the ambivalence inherent in family relationships, where love is sometimes juxtaposed with cruelty.
