For a long time Flora Fontanges has been convinced that if she could one day gather up all the time that has passed, all of it, rigorously, with all its sharpest details—air, hour, light, temperature, colours, textures, smells, objects, furniture—she should be able to relive the past moment in all its freshness.

Of little Renée Chauvreux, there are very few signs: a mere three lines in the city register and the inventory of her meager trousseau. This fille du Roi died in the snow. Her first winter here, her first snow. White beauty that fascinates and kills. Starting with her own childhood in the snow, we should be able to approach Renée Chauvreux, who lies under three feet of powdery snow, if we move stealthily, as lulling and numbing as death itself. But how to awaken the little dead girl lying stiff under ice and time, how make her speak and walk afresh, ask for her secrets of life and death, how tell her she is loved, fiercely, like a child who must be revived?
