Soon I’ll know that it’s not even worth the trouble. We’ll have the easy life.Twenty-five-year-old Francine Veyrenattes, confined to the family farm, already feels that life is passing her by. But after Francine lets slip a terrible secret, culminating in the violent deaths of her brother and uncle, her world is shattered.Fleeing the farm for the seaside, Francine finds herself disintegrating. Lying in the sun with her toes in the sand, she restlessly wishes for things to be somehow easier, to have a life worth living.But then the calm and quiet is broken yet again – by another tragedy and a senseless death, in which Francine finds herself implicated.
