Lorsque les Langlois arrivent � Carmac, ce village perdu dans une vall�e montagneuse o� tout le monde se conna�t et se ressemble, ils font l'effet d'une apparition. Des gens comme eux, aussi riches, aussi heureux, on n'en fr�quente pas. Ils se font construire un chalet impressionnant, face � la maison modeste d'Anna et de Constant. Entre les deux couples se noue une relation ambigu�, faite de fascination, de g�ne, bient�t de jalousie, peut-�tre de racisme. Car Bakary Langlois est noir. Rien, toutefois, qui laisse imaginer que Constant puisse en venir � assassiner toute une famille.
Dans ce roman inspir� d'un fait divers, Samira Sedira nous fait entendre la femme de l'assassin, cette Anna qui porte l'opprobre de n'avoir rien devin�, rien emp�ch�. Lors du proc�s, elle tente de comprendre la m�canique infernale qui a men� Constant, son amour de toujours, � une telle folie meurtri�re, explorant aussi l'enfermement d'une petite communaut� villageoise vivant en huis clos o� l'autre - par sa condition sociale, sa couleur de peau, son app�tit de vivre - subjugue et d�range... jusqu'au meurtre.

We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
