Three by Valerie Perrin

Spanning from the 1980s to the present in a small French town, this story follows Nina, Adrien, and Etienne, childhood best friends bound by a pact to escape together whose bond shatters after a life-altering event in their teens. Decades later, the discovery of a submerged car and the probing eye of a secretive narrator unravel the lies, betrayals, and buried grief that shaped their paths, testing whether loyalty and love can mend what time and silence broke.
