Sonia is a relatively successful writer. In France, where she lives, she is a foreigner, although she came to Europe from her native Mauritius at the age of seventeen and also writes in French. But the color of her skin betrays her. The story is condensed around the day her daughter Anna gets married. For Sonia, the event is charged with emotions that trigger memories of decisive moments and events in her and her daughter's lives. She thinks about the things that brought them closer and those that drove them apart. She thinks about everything she missed because she was afraid of attachment and closeness, and about how she can pass on her knowledge to her daughter, who is so different from her, and convince her to embrace life with a full spoon. Highly recommended!
