I want to call this an illustrated novel, but it's not. It's a puzzle and love story revealed by a collection of items found in a box, relating to the life of Louise Brunet. There are pictures of the items, which lends a certain tangibility to a tale that takes place over the First and Second World Wars. The story takes place as the finder of the box imagines the story they contain. Truly a unique point of reference. As he spends time musing over the objects, the story fills out and the puzzle is answered.
