She was in the car too, but miraculously escaped with her life.This return plunges Clotilde back into the deepest recesses of her adolescence. She reacquaints herself with her paternal grandparents, Lisabetta and Cassanu, members of a powerful Corsican family that reigns over the island.When a mysterious letter, signed PalmaClotildes motherarrives, the truth about her family, her parents death, and her childhood is called into question.
