There is another matter she has been putting off for a long time: selling the inherited house in Normandy. But the moment Flore arrives, memories of her childhood and family come flooding in, friendly neighbors warmly welcome her, and the beauty of the local landscape seems to persuade her not to rush her goodbye.
What’s more, it becomes impossible to leave when, on the doorstep, a mysterious package appears: a kaleidoscope, sketches, and… a part of a manuscript. Flore quickly understands—this is a story about her grandmother Josephine and her great-grandfather, once a famous artist. Who sent these pages, and why? Why did the manuscript never see the light of day? Is it true that her great-grandfather left his daughters secret paintings hidden from the world? And what does a rare orange diamond, vanished many decades ago, have to do with all of this?
Flore decides to dig into Josephine’s story and unravel the family secrets that have poisoned her loved ones for years—to bring old truths into the open and, perhaps at last, feel closer to the people she truly cares about.
