"The book of Tobit in the Biblical apocrypha tells how Tobit's son of Tobias went on a journey with the angel Raphael, encountering a woman who brought death to all her suitors. Sylvie Germain recasts the tale in modern France, creating a powerful and visionary novel of family relationships, grief and redemption, which begins when young Tobias's mother is killed in a freak riding accident."
