Description

Colette is a woman with no history. At least that's what everyone thought until the day of her niece, Agnes, the police call to say that Colette - her only aunt - has died, only she was buried three years ago...

Obviously it was a mistake - or the death of a namesake. Agnès returns to the small Burgundy town she left long ago to identify the body of this stranger, who left her audio tapes in addition to her last will. Who is she? And if it really is Colette Septamber who has just died, who is in the grave instead?

With the masterfully written multi-layered novel „Colette's Second Death“, interweaving fates and fascinating intrigues, the incredible storyteller makes her big comeback.

Valerie Perrin is a French writer and screenwriter. For the last ten years she has been working as a co-writer on the latest films of her husband, director Claude Lelouch.
