One Deadly Summer
In the spring of 1976, a 19-year-old beauty, her German-born mother, and her crippled father move to the town of a firefighter nicknamed Pin-Pon. The provocative Eliane does not go unnoticed and soon singles out Pin-Pon, crying on his shoulder (she is myopic and hates her reputation as a dunce and as easy); she moves in with him, knits baby clothes, and schemes their wedding. Is this love or some kind of plot? She questions Pin-Pon's mother and aunt about the piano in the barn: who delivered it on a November night in 1955? Why does she want to know, and what does it have to do with her mother's sorrows, her father's injury, this quick marriage, and the last name on her birth certificate?
