In the history of literature, there are many examples of characters whose lives are irremediably affected by a brief moment from their past. In this new novel, which follows on from The Great Swindle -a Goncourt Prize winner and a notable bestseller in Spanish- Lemaitre masterfully portrays the life journey of an adolescent who, in a fleeting and unpremeditated fit of rage, becomes involved in a crime and must bear the horror and guilt for the rest of his days. The story, divided into 3 moments spaced out in time -1999, 2011 and 2015-, is an invitation to accompany the fascinating process of the formation of Antoine Courtin's psyche, during which the harrowing destiny of a person who, paradoxically, has been a victim of his own guilt, is glimpsed. It all began in Biaural, a small village nestled in a wooded region, where the peacefulness and beauty of the place are the perfect counterpoint to the succession of events that make up the plot.
