»I wanted to rewrite the great History, the one that had forgotten to document the lives of women, the history of my great-grandmother, to fill in the gaps, to write inspiring characters whose heir I would be.«
– Carmen Jaquier

But Elisabeth is no longer a child. Stifled by the suffocating and strict rules of the village and obsessed by the mysteries surrounding her sister’s disappearance, she will fight for her right to experiment.
