About This Book

Un jeune homme, profondément troublé par la franchise et la dignité d'une jeune femme mystérieuse, oscille entre la fuite et la passion, craignant de devenir un pion dans ses projets. Elle confie des éléments de son passé et revendique une indépendance farouche, repoussant l'idée d'une relation sentimentale ; la révélation possible de son origine noble menace d'effacer sa place auprès de lui. Le récit mêle enquête sur l'énigme de ses origines, jeux d'influence, calculs d'intérêt et questionnements sur l'honneur, l'amour non partagé et les conséquences irréversibles des choix personnels.
