Mixing fact and fiction, the book tells the lives of two writers: the author herself and her friend Lucienne Lacasse-Lovsted, who died of cancer in 1999. One, a European city dweller, chose a stripped-down life and refused convention; the other, from a Quebec village, knew confinement, repression and near immobility. Everything separates these two women of the same generation, until writing and friendship bring them together.
