Gone from Quebec for seventeen years, the narrator asks why she has so often felt beside the point, a foreigner in France and everywhere else, without any place or person where she could rest. She takes over those margins through writing, exploring her past and the universal feeling of strangeness, and questions her relationship to the body, sexuality and love to understand the world that made her. What she finds is that home is other people's books, and perhaps a little her own.
