to Toronto with the new man who is sharing her life. However, the
correspondence eventually grows, dragging the two characters into
an unexpected whirlwind.
Anne-Laure Bondoux and Jean-Claude Mourlevat are two successful authors of children's books, who have been awarded several prestigious prizes.
