Ruth. Tall and angular, she keeps a low profile, unlike her pretty little sister Lucille, a giggle and fashionista. Orphaned at an early age, the girls live in a provincial town in the Mountain State and are looked after by a succession of elderly relatives, until the flighty and eccentric Sylvie, their late mother's sister, appears in the house.

Sylvie likes to sleep outside, meets the sunrise on a boat in the middle of the lake, spends her evenings in a dark room enjoying the silence, wanders aimlessly through the woods all day long... What is this - an empty, meaningless existence or the attainment of a higher spirituality? The two sisters have different opinions about their aunt's strange habits: Lucille finds them difficult to accept, but Ruth finds in Sylvie a kindred spirit. Robinson's transparent, lyrical, and meditative prose, which has won many prestigious literary awards, immerses the reader in a dream-like experience that opens up new horizons and degrees of freedom.
