Marie, her aunt Pauline and Michel Collet, "nobody's child", make up a strange family in a house in the woods, so close to the sea that its mists drift up to them. Marie is worried: the old dog is sick and will not live much longer, and Michel has been missing for three days. Watching over them is an impalpable narrator who cannot speak a word and can only whisper stories into Marie's ear at night. The book follows the age when life suddenly gains new weight and death closes the horizon.
