Title : Tea Time - Chantal Forêt - book

Summary :

After being separated from her younger sister since childhood, Nelly prepares to meet Anne in a restaurant. But Anne is not there. Worried by her silence, Nelly goes to the Domaine de la Boissière, in Auvergne, to meet Anne's in-laws. In the darkness of a mansion, at the bottom of an abandoned park, Paul Maréchal, Anne's husband, and Alice, her mother, welcome as relatives the one they were unaware of. The old lady in black then informs Nelly that her sister was killed three days earlier in a car accident... Despite her reluctance to share the intimacy of these strangers, the suspicions she already harbors encourage Nelly to stay to find out more: how could Anne, a young bohemian artist, have married this submissive man and ended up in this isolated estate? Did the possessive and haughty Alice Maréchal really consider her her own daughter? Why does Mado, the housekeeper, seem embarrassed by Nelly's questions? In the muffled silence of the bourgeois home, between tea time and walk time, Nelly, in search of the truth, follows in her sister's footsteps and instinctively takes her rightful place within this family... A mimicry that could cost her dearly.
