Biarritz

Rival and Role Model - the novel of a lifelong conflict. For years, Emilie has been living in a nursing home. She has long stopped speaking and only communicates with her friend Marianne, who is also a resident of the home. Her daughter Hanna seems to barely notice Emilie, and perhaps she even rejects her; it's hard to say for sure. Is it due to the lack of affection from her daughter, or are they haunted by the wounds they have inflicted on each other over the decades? In an act of redemption, the daughter kidnaps her mother and her friend to take them on an outing to a place where a long-ago summer holds positive memories.
