A monk in his garden, a highborn lady in her castle—and Joseph, a child like a hyphen between them.

An epistolary relationship among four characters, their letters filled with surprises, misunderstandings, and revelations with the 18th century in full swing. When young aristocratic widow Marie-Adélaïde de Silly seeks help from Father Rémy-des-Anges for her son Joseph's stomachaches, she's not expecting the good priest's letters to change all of their lives. This bold graphic novel blends correspondence and the art book, taking liberties with tone and illustration to draw from the aesthetics of stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, and botanical illustrations. The work a masterful pen, seasoned with a dose of irresistible humor!
