In a marsh-surrounded village, 8-year-old Lucie enjoys a vibrant childhood amid birds, animals, and unseen spirits. Tragedy strikes when her stepbrother, her hero, rapes her every night for three years. Shattered by silence, shame, and isolation from oblivious adults, she withdraws into nature, transforming pain into a Medusa-like gaze of defiance. Korean edition translated by Chang Shil Lee.
