Summary "Dans un champ en Haute-Normandie, on a trouvé des centaines d'oiseaux morts. Il a plu des oiseaux et manifestement tout le monde s'en fiche. À peine quelques entrefilets dans la presse locale. Seul un jeune Parisien, histoire d'échapper à sa thèse, se passionne pour le phénomène. D'autant que c'est arrivé dans le village où il a grandi. Pour en savoir plus, il embarque à bord d'un bateau de croisière qui descend la Seine et commence son enquête. Les pistes se multiplient, toutes plus inattendues et extravagantes les unes que les autres. Il tombe amoureux, se découvre des alliés, des ennemis, s'invente une famille et tente de mettre un peu d'ordre dans ses notes et dans sa vie. Victor Pouchet signe un premier roman malicieux, et propose un river-trip normand comme d'autres un road-trip californien." -- Back cover.
"In a field in Upper Normandy, hundreds of dead birds were found. It rained birds and obviously everyone does not care. Barely a few articles in the local press. Only a young Parisian, just to escape writing his thesis, is passionate about the phenomenon. Especially since it happened in the village he grew up in. To find out more, he boarded a cruise ship that sails the Seine and begins his investigation. The clues are multiplying, each new one more unexpected and extravagant than each other. He falls in love, discovers allies, enemies, invents a family and tries to put some order in his notes and in his life. Victor Pouchet's first novel." -- Cataloger's translation and abridgment of the synopsis on the cover.
