Plot summary
Marguerite, fifteen, shares a mansion in Eastern Canada with her mother, Katherine, and her grandmother, Julia. She holds conversations with her dolls, above all one named Aaron, and with an amoeba taken from a pond, paints unsettling pictures alone, and takes a daily injection she believes is insulin, though the labels have been removed. She speaks of wanting to know her father, Michael, a writer who has been apart from the family for ten years. Katherine and Julia object. Michael comes to the hamlet with Anne, the woman he is now with, saying he wants a divorce, and sets out to build a relationship with his daughter.
