This is a novel in pictures. An artistically creation that keeps you reading and rereading over and over again! Very few words, but is explained very creatively in the pictures.
Three sisters, Bettine, Clothilde, and Ophile are at first very close. Then when a lighthouse keeper dies in a horrible storm, the three sisters set out to find his son, Paris, to let him know of his father's death. Paris falls in love with Bettine and Ophile is horribly jealous and ends up killing Bettine and all believes that she has killed the baby as well. Haunted by Bettine, Ophile throws herself off a cliff and kills herself.
Many years later, Clothilde receives an image/message from the baby as a grown man. He is not dead after all! She sets out to find him and save him from the circus. Then the two together set out to find his father. They all move back together into the three sisters house and the haunting changes from horrible to fun and laughter. They are all together again (in some sort of strange way).
