Publisher's Synopsis
French writer Claire Deveze details the terrible sufferings of her best friend during the course of the tragic death of her son by cancer. The loving distance of friendship allows for an intense description of events which would be impossible to bear, perhaps, if described by the mother of the dying child. As it is the pains and joys of a close group of friends, as they live through their friend's painful experiences, are are expressed beautifully in this loving tribute to the son, Sebastien, and the possibilities and limitations of friendship.
