She lives outside the village, in the woods, near the river, with her sister. Or her mother. She doesn t really know. Her life is simple, but nothing ever stays the same. Her body is changing; life around her is changing, too. And there aren t many people around who can explain to her what s happening.A story with a sombre offbeat mood, guided along by a narrator using unique and colourful language.Originally published by Qubec-Amrique as l abri deshommes et des choses
