In this novel of shattered people helping each other, Sophie Tal Men celebrates the virtues of solidarity, offering us a luminous insular interlude and a moment of infinite tenderness.

Alexis is no longer anything like the enthusiastic young emergency room doctor he once was. Broken by repeated humanitarian missions, he has lost all faith in his profession. When we meet him, he's just been dropped from the blue onto the island of Groix, in Brittany, where he must replace Yann, a local general practitioner.
After getting in touch with untamed nature and the island's colorful inhabitants, Alexis recovers his love for life and starts to see this as a chance for a new start.
