The Book House in the Heart of Winter

Shortly before Christmas, a snowstorm catches Valentina in the mountains of southern France. Instead of continuing her round-the-world journey, she has to seek shelter and ends up in an old house where Constance lives — an elderly woman who once owned a bookstore. The forced proximity turns into a conversation about choices, the fear of adult life, and the mark that the past leaves on the present. While the blizzard outside cuts the house off from the familiar world, both women draw closer to questions that could once be escaped from.
