Description

Tata begins with a mystery – Agnes is asked to identify the body of her aunt Colette-who, as far as she knows, died three years earlier.

From this phone call, Valerie Perrin crafts a compelling blend of family saga and literary suspense. As Agnes searches for the truth, buried secrets and

hidden lives come to light, revealing an unforgettable cast of characters and the story of the woman she thought she knew, whose decision to fake her own death sets in motion a layered tale of resilience, identity, and reinvention.

Told with humour and emotional depth, Tata is a captivating story about the mysteries that shape a life and the courage that

is required of women who choose to forge one’s own path.
