Title : The Circle of Women - Sophie Brocas - Book
Summary :
During a great-grandmother's funeral, four generations of women are confronted with the discovery of a painful family secret.
"I join Mom in the cool house. She continues her patient work of sorting: the pile of things to throw away, the pile of things to keep, the pile of things we'll figure out later. What possessed me to get down on all fours to look under the large wardrobe? My hand pulled out yet another shoebox. I blew off the film of dust covering its lid before lifting it."
Gathered for a few days in the countryside for the funeral of their grandmother and friend, four generations of women share their intimacy and their grief. Young Lia inadvertently discovers a family secret jealously guarded for sixty years. Do these revelations threaten to trigger a cataclysm within this very endearing tribe? A coming-of-age novel, The Women's Circle delicately explores the unconscious mechanisms of transmission from mothers to daughters and offers us a gallery of characters as touching as they are whimsical.
