The novel begins slowly. Contemporary history of a divorced woman, mother of a little boy who has just lost her mother. I find it hard to know where the author will lead me, struggling to hang on ... and then suddenly, that plunged me into the post-Second World War period, the United States. We discover the life of a passionate woman, her unconditional love for a man one night, and one that binds it to his brother. His fate is closely linked to events that agitate the United States, and the novel is done and witnessed what was then the Status of Women, the fate of the gay community and dramas caused by the "Witch Hunt". A moving love story against the backdrop of social upheaval, captivating!
