Incendies

When notary Lebel reads their mother Nawal's will to twins Jeanne and Simon Marwan, he awakens in them the uncertain story of their birth: who was their father, and by what odyssey were they born far from their mother's homeland? By handing each of them an envelope, one destined for the father they thought dead and the other for the brother they didn't know existed, he moves the continents of their pain: in this family's book of hours, unsuspected tragedies await them, bearing the colors of the irreparable. But the price to be paid for the appeasement of Nawal's tormented soul risks devouring the destinies of Jeanne and Simon.
