Mathilde Delfau is thirty-six, with a physiotherapy practice in Lyon, a twelve-year marriage and two years of treatment that have come to nothing. One Sunday in May her grandmother calls the whole family together to announce that she is handing over her half of the lavender estate — not to her son, who has worked it for forty years, but to Mathilde. Mathilde goes down to the Drôme for three weeks and discovers, without anyone hiding a thing from her, what everyone already knew: the house at the top, the house at the bottom, a hundred metres between them, and an eighty-six-year-old woman in a room in a care home in Nyons whom her grandmother has visited every day for two years and four months. At the same moment a perfume house in Grasse writes offering to buy the estate — and Mathilde recognises the company. It is her husband's.
