“Violette, no more going back and forth to Paris,” my uncle Régis told me. So I realized I was going to do my CM2 in Versailles. Anyway, Malcolm and I don’t talk anymore. He was my only friend, but he wanted us to be lovers. So this school or another, what’s the difference, except that I won’t be seeing Mum and Dad’s silhouettes in front of the gates like friendly ghosts. But from the very first day, I knew it was going to be a complicated year.
