Au sommet de sa carrière, Elsa M. Anderson perd ses moyens et quitte la Salle dorée de Vienne en plein récital du Concerto n°2 de Rachmaninov. Une fuite en avant qui prend rapidement la forme d'une quête d'identité. À Athènes d'abord, dans un marché aux puces, où la jeune pianiste observe une inconnue affublée d'escarpins en peau de serpent en train d'acheter une paire de petits chevaux mécaniques. Elsa ne peut alors s'empêcher de convoiter les mêmes objets, comme s'ils détenaient la clé d'un secret bien enfoui en elle.

Deborah Levy revient sur sa vie. Elle fuit à Majorque pour réfléchir et se retrouver, et pense à l'Afrique du Sud, ce pays qu'elle a quitté, à son enfance, à l'apartheid, à son père – militant de l'ANC emprisonné –, aux oiseaux en cage, et à l'Angleterre, son pays d'adoption. Telle la marquise Cabrera se délectant du 'chocolat magique', elle est devenue écrivaine en lisant Marguerite Duras et Virginia Woolf.

Et si Deborah Levy nous ouvrait les portes de sa bibliothèque personnelle ? Si elle nous emmenait à la découverte des artistes qui l'inspirent et la secouent ?

Un divorce forcément douloureux, une grande maison victorienne troquée contre un appartement en haut d'une colline dans le nord de Londres, deux filles à élever et des factures qui s'accumulent... Deborah Levy a cinquante ans quand elle décide de tout reconstruire, avec pour tout bagage, un vélo électrique et une plume d'écrivain. L'occasion pour elle de revenir sur le drame pourtant banal d'une femme qui s'est jetée à corps perdu dans la quête du foyer parfait, un univers qui s'est révélé répondre aux besoins de tous sauf d'elle-même.

Tandis que ses filles prennent leur envol, elle nous emmène aux quatre coins du monde, de New York aux îles Saroniques en passant par Mumbai, Paris ou Berlin, tissant une méditation exaltante et follement intime sur le sens d'une maison et les fantômes qui la hantent. Entremêlant le passé et le présent, le personnel et le politique, la philosophie et l'histoire littéraire, convoquant Marguerite Duras ou Céline Sciamma, elle interroge avec acidité et humour le sens de la féminité et de la propriété.
