Publisher's presentation:
A LUMINOUS AND INTRIGUING THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF 17 FOREVER
Spending time with his family on a small island in the Atlantic, Hélyos doesn't realize how deadly the summer of his sixteenth year will be.
Despite the hostility they inspire in him, Hélyos mingles with other teenagers on vacation, attracted by the seductive Manon and the mysterious Lucas.
But how could Solal, his 5-year-old little brother, know the house with the red shutters where his new friends live so well? And what if he was telling the truth, if he had already been to this island?
Because Solal keeps repeating it: that's where he died.
AWARDS AND SELECTIONS
PRESS REVIEW (excerpts)
IN THE PRESS
Gaël Aymon plays brilliantly with narrative to better mislead the reader. Starting with the conventions of the psychological thriller—with a thoroughly successful build-up of tension—the final scenes are particularly harrowing, dramatic and eerie. Then there is the romance, and Gaël Aymon is infinitely more demanding of his readers than the authors of generic, trendy romance novels. An extremely unsettling read, thanks to all these delightful games of literary manipulation. CNLj / LA REVUE DES LIVRES POUR ENFANTS (Fabrice Barcq)
