For a reason she doesn't understand, Caroline is compelled to return to the town of her childhood on her sixteenth birthday and there meets a stranger, Zilia, with familiar ways and learns the meaning of a recurring dream. "When one examines the past, one come on odd pockets of silence," the bookseller had warned Caroline. And Caroline came to realize, with chilling certainty, that Zilia have lived a long time ago.
