One strange autumn, illness strikes two sisters of a large family, the two artists of the clan. While Suzanne, the elder, is felled by a burst blood vessel in her brain, the narrator collapses inward from exhaustion. Then the wind turns: as the first is dying, the second slowly begins to live again, as if one's strength were flowing into the other.
