Synopsis
A moody, from-the-heart drama of love, secrets, and choice in a cosmopolitan Geneva pension.
Set in a winter when a quiet guesthouse becomes a stage for inner conflict, this story follows Felicia and a circle of women whose lives converge in the Pension Boccard. Amid dwindling social energies and sharp reminders of past disappointments, ordinary evenings turn into evenings of revelation and longing. The atmosphere blends discontent, wit, and a subtle tension that pushes characters to confront what they want and what they owe to others.
- A delicate romance unfolds between Katherine and Raine, shadowed by history and moral doubt.
- A group of women, each with her own quiet longing, navigates companionship, gossip, and unspoken loyalties.
- The setting shifts from summer gaiety to winter doldrums, highlighting how place shapes emotion and decisions.
- Secrets from the past surface, testing trust, duty, and the limits of generosity.
Ideal for readers who enjoy psychological romance set against a vivid, social-era backdrop, where mood and motive drive the story as much as plot.
