Quand, en avril 1999, son épouse Maureen échappe de justesse au massacre de Columbine, Caelum cherche refuge avec elle dans la ferme de son enfance à Three Rivers, Connecticut. C'est là qu'il découvre des archives familiales insoupçonnées : les lettres de son aïeule, militante abolitionniste, anéantie par la perte de ses fils au front ; les journaux de son arrière-grand-mère, fondatrice de la prison pour femmes du comté, hantée par la descente aux enfers de sa soeur ; des coupures de presse sur les tragédies locales de ces années 60 qui ont vu grandir Caelum aux côtés d'un père alcoolique revenu traumatisé de la guerre de Corée... Au fil de ses recherches, Caelum, stupéfait, voit se recomposer deux siècles d'une histoire familiale pleine de bruit et de fureur, et ressurgir le terrible secret de ses origines... Pour tenter de comprendre cette infinie colère qui l'habite depuis toujours, Caelum va devoir explorer les recoins les plus obscurs de sa mémoire...

This is the story of the author's childhood in the 1970s in Rhodesia.
