Sinopsis
256pages. 21x15x2cm. Broché. Chaque maison cache un secret, les murs ont des oreilles mais la bouche cousue. Il faut poser longtemps la joue contre leur sein, ccmme un docteur fiévreux, pour les entendre respirer. A Dun-le-Palestel, dans la Creuse, la maison de famille du narrateur en a si gros sur le c?ur et tant à dire qu'on va la confesser, pièce après pièce, l'écouter se raconter, souvenirs dérangés, vérités arrangées, les choses et les gens tels qu'ils furent, les échos et les ombres qu'il en reste. Elle finira bien par lâcher cequ'elle sait. Elle sait l'histoire d'un père qui, lui, avait choisi de se taire.

Críticas
Brimming with discreet charm (Mail on Sunday)
Elegant and charming as always, the latest in the Isabel Dalhousie series is as reflective and cultured as its central character (Good Book Guide)
Reseña del editor
Isabel Dalhousie is one of Edinburgh's most generous (but discreet) philanthropists - but should she be more charitable? She wonders, sometimes, if she is too judgmental about her niece's amorous exploits, too sharp about her housekeeper's spiritual beliefs, too ready to bristle in battle against her enemies.
As the editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, she doesn't, of course, allow herself actual enemies, but she does feel enmity - especially towards two academics who have just arrived in the city. Isabel feels they're a highly destabilizing influence; little tremors in the volcanic rock upon which an Enlightened Edinburgh perches. Equally troubling is the situation of the little boy who is convinced he had a previous life. When Isabel is called upon to help, she finds herself questioning her views on reincarnation. And the nature of grief. And - crucially - the positioning of lighthouses.
The only questions Isabel doesn't have to address concern her personal life. With her young son and devoted husband her home life is blissfully content. Which is the best possible launching pad for the next issue of the Review - the Happiness issue. As Isabel is beginning to appreciate, happiness, for most people, is not quite what it seems . . .
