A slice of heaven - Claudie Gallay - book

As Christmas approaches, Carole returns to the village of her adolescence where Philippe, her brother, a forest ranger, and Gaby, her sister, live. They are reunited, waiting for Curtil, the father who is always absent but who sometimes summons them by sending them a glass snow globe. It's not easy for someone who has long since become a city dweller to reconnect with her family, to move beyond the tragedy that marked their childhood. But tenderness surfaces in this place cut off from the world.
