In 1974, Patricia Hearst's kidnapping by a radical group and her subsequent embrace of their cause shocked the world. Gene Neveva, a visiting professor, is tasked with reporting on the case for Hearst's defense lawyer. As she delves into the voluminous case files, she finds an unexpected ally in Violaine, a student who shares Hearst's age and begins to question the official narrative. This novel explores the profound impact of a single event on three women, examining the moment of radical choice and the societal judgment that follows those who deviate from their expected paths.
