    Content: "Géralde est une jeune femme de 30 ans. Elle est belle, cultivée, maline mais, voilà, ça ne marche pas avec les garçons. Il faut dire que, bizarrement, elle collectionne les mauvais coups. Pourtant, une rencontre lui redonne espoir : Pierce, un jeune homme néozélandais, posé, séduisant, d'une délicatesse et d'une attention auxquelles elle n'était pas habituée. Cela n'est pas vraiment un coup de foudre, mais une agréable opportunité. La contrepartie est que si elle veut que cela ne soit pas sans lendemain, elle doit rejoindre Pierce en Nouvelle Zélande où il est rentré. Il se trouve que Géralde est noire. Est-ce que cela suffit à expliquer certaines de ses réactions sociales ou amoureuses, ses complexes ? Mais déj̀à les relations avec Pierce, l'accueil de sa famille déconcertée, voire gênée par sa couleur et qui ne trouve qu'à s'extasier sur sa coiffure, préfigurent une rupture qui devient inéluctable. Si voilà Géralde de nouveau libre, c'est pour retomber aussitôt dans les bras d'un séduisant journaliste quadragénaire qui donne une conférence à l'Alliance française de Wellington. Il s'appelle Hadrien, il est blanc. Dès lors commence un ballet, un marivaudage qui ne seront pas sans conclusion mais se prolongeront au-delà de cette conclusion alors que Géralde et Hadrien visitent en amoureux les plus beaux paysages de l'île ..." --
    Content: Geralde is a young woman of 30 years old. She is beautiful, cultured, clever but, here, it does not work with boys. It must be said that, oddly, she collects the bad shots ... However, a meeting gives her hope: Pierce, a young New Zealander, posed, attractive, a delicacy and attention to which she was not used. It is not really love at first sight, but a pleasant opportunity. The counterpart is that if she wants it not to be short-lived, she has to join Pierce in New Zealand where he returned. It turns out that Geralde is black. Is that enough to explain some of her social or romantic reactions, her complexes? But already the relationship with Pierce, the reception of his family disconcerted, even embarrassed by her color and who finds only to rave about her hairstyle, foreshadow a break that becomes unavoidable. If Géralde is free again, it is to fall immediately into the arms of a seductive forty-year-old journalist who gives a lecture at the Alliance française de Wellington. His name is Hadrian, he is white. From then on begins a ballet, a marivaudage which will not be without conclusion but will extend beyond this conclusion whereas Géralde and Hadrien visit in love the most beautiful landscapes of the island. A strange marivaudage in which the reservations of Geralde born of the difference she thinks fundamental between them fly away, then come back to disappear again, and come back again and again until sometimes make in her own eyes an angry black woman to less than it is, conversely, a bounty. Add to this the fact that it saves a certain member of the local community from death and, as a result, becomes the time for a social media boom, an international star, and that on the occasion of a Hadrian's discomfort she discovers that he has hidden a double life for her, all the ingredients of a major personal crisis seem to be reunited.--Resume by P.O.L
