Sandrine Perroud releases her first novel

Twenty-one-year-old Mélanie and her parents have decided to commit assisted suicide together, following Mr.'s cancer and Mrs.'s inability to continue living without him. With Radio Nostalgie playing in the Lausanne tee-room where she works as a waitress, Mélanie tries to mourn. She's trying - which is no mean feat. Everything now refers to her as dead or undead. The city is populated by spirits, the same ones that the young girl she used to be used to ward off in her nights. She begins a relationship with a young man, David, who in a way serves as her mirror and healer.
