The Stranger at My Wedding
by Solène Réault
A stranger walks into her studio with a damaged photo of a sailing boat. She never thought she would love again. Six months later, she finds him at the back of the photo of her own wedding.
Camille Aubry is thirty-six. She restores photographs in a small studio in Knokke, facing the sea, and she has been a widow since her husband's yacht went down off Nieuwpoort one November morning. She thought no one would ever touch her again.
One Tuesday in March, a shipwright walks into her studio with a damaged photo of a sailing boat. He catches three prints in mid-air as the wind snatches them away. He comes back, for no reason, with two coffees. By spring, she loves him.
In October, scanning the negatives of her wedding, Camille finds him at the back of photo no. 0147. Standing against the wall by the service door, holding a glass he doesn't drink. He wasn't on the guest list. He never told her.
Who is the man she loves? And what has he known, from the very beginning, about her husband's death?
Contains explicit love scenes between adults.
