Description

Hélène de La Seiglière spends her evenings perched on a balcony, the night air filled with the soft chorus of rustling fields and distant breezes. Raised in a world of courtesy and polished manners, she finds her inner life stirred by the tender letters of Bernard, a young man who died before she could know him. The pages become a living romance, a secret garden of hope that blooms beneath the calm surface of her genteel existence.

When a figure who perfectly matches Bernard’s description steps into the salon, Hélène’s world tilts on its axis. The shock of seeing her absent love returned awakens a cascade of feelings she has only ever imagined in silent reverie. As she gathers the precious letters one last time, she stands between memory and reality, questioning what it means to love a memory and to face a present that may never be as she had dreamed.
