The new novel by the international bestselling author of Fresh Water for Flowers.

When Agnes hears from the local police that her Aunt Colette has died, she can't believe her ears. Her father's sister Colette, her Tatá, died three years ago and has been resting in peace in the cemetery of Gueugnon.

Agnes is called to identify the body: there is no doubt, it's Aunt Colette. But then, who rests under the stone engraved with Colette's name? And why did she fake her own death? So begins an investigation back in time, as Agnes pieces together the multitude of stories that lie behind her aunt's second death.

An intricate, compelling web of stories told with irony, delicacy, and depth, Tatá will keep readers glued to every page.
