Sybil, douze ans, habite les Etats-Unis. Sa grand-m�re Kalya, la cinquantaine, vit � Paris. Elles ne se sont jamais rencontr�es et d�cident de passer leurs prochaines vacances, ensemble, au Liban, pays de leurs anc�tres. Emigr�es de plusieurs g�n�rations, leurs maisons sans racines - � part celles de l'esprit et du coeur - sont parfois plus passionnantes et plus ouvertes que les demeures immuables agripp�es � leurs mottes de terre. Nous sommes en 1975. Rendez-vous � Beyrouth, � l'aube de la trag�die. Une marche dramatique le long d'une place de la ville ponctuera le roman. Elle ne durera que quelques minutes mais, dans cet espace referm� comme un pi�ge o� la mort est aux aguets, Kalya revivra ses propres vacances, en ces m�mes lieux, avec sa grand-m�re Nouza. C'�tait en 1932, en des saisons plus insouciantes et plus frivoles
