From the Back Cover
Adam loved me because of the desert, the smell of sand that stuck to the soles of my feet, loved Mathilde because she read and wrote. She typed her novels, typed day and night to forget that she was a woman. Mathilde did not like pleasure. Poor Mathilde who has only known one man, a husband, not a lover. She deprived herself of the halwa of life, of what makes a woman sparkle like a September moon. But the responsibilities have aged her: running an estate has whitened her hair and blackened her heart.
My sister taught me everything except to love. Adam took care of it. I miss Mathilde. One hand cannot clap. She was the right hand, I was the left hand and Adam was the applause. On the occasion of a conference on the writer Adam Saint-Gilles, Anne meets her widow, Mathilde, and spends the night in her rural lodging. Night turns into months.
Anne does not leave the premises despite the tough tasks demanded by Mathilde: chopping wood, straightening a collapsed hedge will earn her the reading of an unpublished novel, promised day after day. Anne, Mathilde's consenting slave. the discovery, at the other end of the estate, of Zohra nailed in a wheelchair, half-sister of Mathilde and once lover of Saint-Gilles, sheds a harsh light on the hidden side of the writer's life. .
