"La vie est une hécatombe. 59 millions de morts par an. 1,9 par seconde. 158.857 par jour.

Evie's older sister Cilla is gone. Their parents sent her away to a strict boarding school after she got pregnant during her junior year of high school - because getting pregnant is not something the Morgan girls are supposed to do. They're supposed to go to church and eat fish on Fridays. They're supposed to be good little Catholics. But Evie can't believe her parents could be that cruel, and she doesn't understand why Cilla isn't responding to her almost daily letters - letters about the school play she didn't get cast in, the distance that's growing between her best friends, and the possibility that she's developing some decidedly un-Catholic feelings about the new girl in her class.

"Il y a Ludmila, il y a Paul, il y a Jean et les autres n'ont pas de nom. Ils disent simplement 'je'. Presque tous parlent dans la nuit, pendant la nuit, et à un moment de leur vie où ils ne différencient plus très bien la nuit du jour justement. Ils parlent pour essayer d'y voir clair, ils se dévoilent, ils se confient, ils fendent l'armure. Tous n'y parviennent pas mais de les regarder essayer, déjà, cela m'a émue. C'est prétentieux de parler de ses propres personnages en avouant qu'ils vous ont émue mais je vous le répète : pour moi ce sont pas des personnages, ce sont des gens. De vraies gens." A. G.
