Description
“The greater the distance between galaxies, the greater the speed at which each moves away from the other”. Hubble’s constant is a key equation in this novel, which in chronicling contemporary relationships, compares modern couples to distant galaxies. But can the laws of cosmology really allow Juliette, an attentive mother and devoted wife, to understand why she was unable to detect her husband’s multiple infidelities? Twelve years of seemingly peaceful married life, four children, all outward signs of success, and then one day everything falls apart. Taken aback, Juliette finds refuge in Provence with the kids, her cousin Alma, a lawyer, Sibylle, her adolescent daughter, and…her husband’s mistress, all together for two months in a farm house belonging to Louise, Alma’s lesbian lover. Two months during which each seeks to better understand themselves as well as each other.
