A powerful and chilling novel that exposes the devastating toll of school bullying... One month after the suicide of Hugo, aged 14, a silent memorial march brings the city of Saint-Nazaire together. Vincent walks among the procession--but even more so, he wanders through his own memories. How many silences, how many warning signs did he ignore, whether consciously or subconsciously? "I think something is going on with Hugo; he's not doing well." To his wife's words, he had merely shrugged. And today, guilt weighs him down. Through a maze of memories and unspoken truths, Vincent attempts to piece together the chain of events that led to his son's death: the insidious bullying, the escalating humiliations, the collective denial--the sum of small acts of cowardice that give rise to great tragedies.
