Un poison violent

Anna, quatorze ans, passe les vacances d'été en Bretagne chez sa mère dans la maison familiale de son grand-père dont elle est très proche et qui vit retiré en ermite malade au dernier étage. En pleines difficultés de l'adolescence, aggravées par la séparation de ses parents, elle vit une crise mystique difficile allant aux enterrements, hésitant pour sa confirmation religieuse, questionnant un prêtre qui remplace son père absent. Son corps de jeune femme lui attire les regards de ses proches, soit par désir timide (un petit ami), soit par jalousie (sa mère, qui vit elle-même une difficile crise de la quarantaine), et l'agite sur ses sentiments et désirs.
