Leïla is waiting for Dan. For many months, she has been working on her masterpiece made of ink and paper: a wedding dress made from fifty-six letters. Night after night, she carefully stitches together all the short love messages that her fiancé has sent her on postcards, Post-its, and notes from abroad. Each message, each sentence evokes a memory. Of their first meeting or the cotton candy at the fair, of scenes from Leïla's childhood and family gatherings with black tea, of the last night of love before Dan's departure. Leïla comes from a family with Afghan roots living in exile in Paris. She doesn't like to write, and Dan is not a man of many words either. But now, every letter counts. Claire Gondor tells a beautiful, sensual love story made up of vivid and precisely composed memories.
