What happens when we finally face our greatest fears?
Ada’s life changes dramatically the day a brutal hate campaign is unleashed on her social media. As her 2.8 million followers begin to fade into history – and with them, her life as she had known it up to that point – the young woman decides to break with everything in order to leave behind an unbreathable present.
Always an urbanite, Ada suddenly finds herself isolated in the middle of a mountainous landscape whose few inhabitants are more than a little unusual.
There, in her new refuge in the forest, she must confront the losses and unknowns of her past while discovering books she never imagined she would read, birds that seem to talk, an enigmatic new love, a mysterious disappearance and, above all, the urgent longing to find herself again.
An evocative novel about the importance of finding one’s voice, the healing power of art and nature, authenticity in the age of appearances, and the love of life above all else.
