The story revolves around Maïténa Otéguy, a young woman grappling with the memory of her deceased husband, Virgile Prébosc, and her conflicting emotions as she navigates village life and the repercussions of tragedy and loss within a rural setting. The opening of the novel introduces Maïténa as she enjoys a quiet evening in her kitchen, roasting
chestnuts, when her solitude is interrupted by a visit from her elderly neighbor, Ourtic. Their conversation reveals deep-seated memories related to the death of her husband, which occurred under mysterious circumstances ten years prior. Reflecting on her past, Maïténa recalls the happiness of her early marriage and the subsequent tragedy that reshaped her life. As Ourtic reveals nuggets of information about that fateful day, the tension escalates, hinting at deeper secrets and unresolved emotions that will likely influence Maïténa's future decisions and relationships.
