Nelie escaped a miserable existence by becoming a frontline nurse in 1914. One day, she takes the identity of Rose, a young woman from a good family, who dies in front of her. She presents herself in her place at Madame de Lengwil's house, to become the reader of this wealthy woman.
A quiet, simmering tension underlies this tale of stolen identity. It's a deeply introspective character study, exploring the weight of secrets and the desperate search for a better life against a backdrop of societal constraints.
