Louise is a modern Frenchwoman: she goes to work, meets friends, and falls in love. She's also been deaf since birth: she has to lip-read, inventing fragments of speech that her hearing aids miss. This uniqueness underlies Louise's unique approach to a world full of blurred images and poetic shadows that she cherishes. Until one day, she faces a choice: get a cochlear implant that will allow her to hear almost like everyone else, or maintain her individuality at the risk of total hearing loss. The girl, who has always felt "not deaf enough to join the deaf community, and not hearing enough to live a full life in the hearing world," is afraid of making the wrong decision and, with each passing day, sinks deeper into depression—and silence.

The book is illustrated by Kasia Denisevich.
