A family lives in distant peaceful Canada.
Laurence is fifteen, Luca is nine, and Mathilde is less than a year old. Life changes one day when dad, on whom everything rested at home, decides to go to war in Afghanistan as part of a peacekeeping mission. All familiar family roles are collapsing, and fear, bitterness and misunderstanding reign in their place. While the father risks dying in someone else's war, their own internal war comes to their house. To survive it, some will have to grow up prematurely.
Charlotte Gengra is a Canadian writer. She poses unusual questions and at the same time helps to maintain hope, not to drown in darkness. Among her awards are the major Canadian Governor General's Awards (1999, 2000) and Alvine-Belisle (2012).
For children of senior school age.
