Farah et ses parents ont trouvé refuge dans une communauté libertaire qui rassemble des gens fragiles, inadaptés au monde extérieur. Farah pense être une fille, mais découvre qu'elle n'a pas tous les attributs attendus. Elle s'épanouit dans ce drôle de paradis, observant les adultes mettre en pratique leurs beaux principes : décroissance, antispécisme, naturisme, amour libre. Mais cet éden est établi à la frontière franco-italienne, dans une zone sillonnée par les migrants ; ses portes vont-elles s'ouvrir ? Un roman doux et cruel, comique et décapant, sur l'innocence et le monde contemporain.

Farah moves into Liberty House - an arcadia, a community in harmony with nature - at the tender age of six, with her family. The commune's spiritual leader, Arcady, preaches equality, non-violence, anti-speciesism, free love, and uninhibited desire for all. At 15, Farah learns she is intersex, and begins to go beyond the confines of gender, as she explores the arc of her own desires. What, Farah asks, is a man or a woman? What does it mean to be part of a community? What is utopia when there are refugees nearby seeking shelter who cannot enter?
