Elodie: A Tale of Passion, Dark Shadows and Vanishing Smiles - Paperback

As a young woman, Elodie journeys with spirit and determination through a series of challenging relationships and cultivates her remarkable talent as a floral designer. As the years pass, however, she has gradually lost the will to go on living, and now sits alone in the big, empty house where once life was full of promise. Tonight is an especially cruel night - ice covers the windows and a fierce wind from the north howls, making the dry, fallen leaves dance to a frightening tune. To escape, she flees into the past to relive happier times, remembering her carefree student days, her first love, and the events that have brought her to this brick house near the forest.
