Tom and Charlie have decided to live out the remainder of their lives hidden away in a remote forest, their only connection to the outside world a couple of pot growers who deliver whatever they need that they can't eke out for themselves. But one summer two women arrive. One is a young photographer documenting a series of catastrophic forest fires that swept Northern Ontario, and the elderly aunt of the one of the pot growers appears, fleeing the psychiatric institution that has been her home since she was sixteen. She changes her name to Marie-Desneiges and joins the men in the woods.

Jocelyne Saucier crea narrazioni che approfondiscono l'essenza della vita, della memoria e dell'eredità, spesso ambientate in evocativi paesaggi rurali o remoti. La sua prosa è caratterizzata da una sensibilità poetica e da una profonda esplorazione della psiche umana, esaminando le intricate connessioni tra passato e presente. Il lavoro di Saucier si distingue per la sua capacità di immergere i lettori nelle sfide esistenziali e nella ricerca di significato intrapresa dai suoi personaggi. Il potere duraturo della sua narrazione risiede nella sua profondità atmosferica e nella sua significativa risonanza emotiva.
