In a city of mist and shifting streets, Solène Moreau, a poised and enigmatic woman in her forties, is renowned for her refined taste, effortless grace, and impeccable reputation. A former art restorer, she now curates rare objects for a private collector. She is admired, respected-and yet, she knows none of it is real.
Solène has lived many lives. She has been a revolutionary, a lover, a fugitive, a daughter, a mother, a ghost. Each name she has taken, each role she has played, was like slipping into a new skin. But she has never been able to hold on to any of them.
One evening, an anonymous letter arrives, inviting her to "come see what you have left behind." It leads her to a forgotten district of the city, where a man-or is it a woman?-claims to know her as someone else entirely. They call her by a name she has not heard in decades, and in that moment, the life she thought was hers begins to unravel.
