Publisher's presentation : 

A forest spirit. That was what she had seen. When she was asked, gently, then in a more and more tense, urgent voice, if it was not Lucy - Lucy, fifteen years old, blond, one meter sixty-five, jean shorts, missing for two days -, when she was asked if she had not seen Lucy, she answered shaking her head: No, no, it was a spirit, the spirit of the forest.

In a remote part of the world, on the edge of a forest threatened with destruction, Nita grows up dreaming of elsewhere. Until the day she meets Lucy, a young girl from the city. Lonely, and in spite of herself liking the boys from high school, she ventures into the woods.

To grace, Monica Sabolo adds a depth and a mastery of her novelistic means that give her a very special place in the literary landscape. Raphaëlle Leyris, Le Monde des livres.

A fabulous and cruel tale. Véronique Cassarin-Grand, L'Obs
