In the first volume we got to know David, Laetitia and their son Milo, a family that got along well with their neighbors Tiphaine Sylvain and their son Maxime. Soon, a great complicity and a beautiful friendship had moved them to the point that Tiphaine had been selected to become the godmother of Milo. The two boys also live in perfect harmony, that experienced by brothers who "choose".
All was therefore for the better until a real drama came to break this shared happiness, a terrible accident that killed Maxime ...
From there, we witnessed a descent into hell.
With this second volume, life pretends to resume its course, Tiphaine Sylvain and became the legal guardians of Milo. From the past, there will be "almost" no question, the couple have chosen to call this tragedy that took place eight years ago and its consequences, "the events".
This is of course the young Milo, now fifteen year old boy, that the reader will follow in his sufferings, doubts, questions, fears, that of a boy who was forbidden to love whoever is afraid that fate s 'hounds, lest the curse will inevitably repeat, for fear of losing all those who, until then, he had deeply loved.
But it is especially the arrival of a new neighbor that will awaken a past that we believed in hibernation and that will trigger "After the End", a new upheaval, like a river out of his bed, like a volcano burst in like an eternal.
This is a second volume that was expected and was welcome.
The novel leaves a crucial place in the psychological analysis of human behavior, human relations.
If writing is fluid, neat, the pace is too slow on almost half the book. This is unfortunate because the plot is neat, the real suspense.
Many saw an oversized Machiavellian I prefer a little watered down, even if it is true, the outcome is up, and the crooked minds. I also saw a pathetic aspect, heartbreaking and poignant distress few pages, lies and betrayal.
