Mélina loves her work as a biographer and has never questioned her choice to live without children.
But when she’s commissioned to write the life story of Freddie Mercury, her carefully ordered world begins to unravel.

To protect those she loves, she may have to rewrite more than just a life story.ONLY AVAILABLE IN FRENCH
