About This Book

Jimmy vient au monde le jour de la mort de son grand-père. Alors que l'orage sévit, le vieux Josef Tock se redresse soudain sur le lit et parle d'une manière cohérente pour la première fois depuis son attaque. Il énumère cinq jours noirs dans la vie de son petit-fils. A chaque nouvelle crise qu'il va affronter, Jimmy se rapprochera d'une vérité dont il ne soupçonnait pas l'existence.
