Roland has the perfect vacation planned for Fabienne everything isorganized, booked, and paid for in advance, with the entire itinerary recordedin a notebook. Its going to be a wonderful week where they can discusstheir future together.
But before they can even get their luggageto their rental, Roland is decapitated in a freak accident. And Fabienne,stunned and alone, has no idea how to process it. So in her daze of denial, shedecides to stay and follow the itinerary as planned, as if the tragedy neverhappened.
Ghost-like, she wanders the tourist-filled streets, apassive spectator to the joys of others lives. Along the way, she meetsPaco, a local vendor with some eccentric views on life and death. Being ratherprivate normally, it isnt hard for her to lie about the companion thatnever seems to be there at that very moment, but Paco soon puts the piecestogether. His minor fascination with bizarre deaths has him all too familiarwith the tale of the recently decapitated tourist. And he realizes this womanneeds a friend right now more than anything else. So they spend a platonic weekoff and on, neither of them talking about what happened.
And thatseems to be precisely what she needs to process everything.
Amoving and mesmerizing look at life, death, and the many different ways we copewith each, written by celebrated author Lewis Trondheim and illustrated byHubert Chevillard.
