What if, after leaving everything behind, you had to return to the place you thought you left behind? A vibrantly authentic novel about the shock of returning, the search for a deep love... and the silences between two departures.


A return to her roots for Marilyn Montplaisir, who, after years spent wandering around Costa Rica and elsewhere, decides to return home. To her surprise, she settles near her hometown... Who would have thought it? Certainly not her!

Although she always remained open to life, without ever really making plans, Marilyn never thought for a moment that she would return to Quebec one day. Nor had she imagined returning to Costa Rica, after having left for Italy long ago. Life, however, had a way of surprising her... again and again!

Her return isn't without its challenges; she has to relearn how to navigate this modern, North American life... and of course, survive the icy Quebec winters! After just a few months, her roots are taking root again, almost without her knowing it, as if they had never been torn away. Her career, the whirlwind of dating apps, the furtive encounters with men who seem to belong to another reality... Everything is back on track. The infernal pace of urban daily life sucks her in. And the disillusioned men around her only accentuate her feeling of disconnection.

As the months pass, Marilyn becomes aware of an undeniable truth: she has grown enormously in the last decade. Her years as an expatriate have also profoundly transformed her. The more time passes, the more she perceives the gap. She feels like an outsider in this rigid, programmed society.

Despite her disappointments and disillusionments, she remains connected to the subtle signs that life sends her and to her inner voice. A voice that is sometimes heavenly and amusing, sometimes down-to-earth and biting. A voice that will guide her, perhaps, toward something greater. Toward an encounter that could change her destiny.

Does fate, or the universe, finally have a divine encounter in store for her? Will she truly find happiness back home? Or will the winds of freedom blow through her once again, pushing her to conquer new horizons, where her soul will feel truly alive?
