SYNOPSIS

Raimon writes for the radio and lives with his brother Blai who was traumatised by an accident he had in the forest when he was small and who now lives a very simple life working in an occupational therapy workshop. One day, Raimon is offered a job by Celia, a mature lady who has always listened to his stories. She wants him to write her biography saying: "You'd never have imagined how well your stories speak to my life..." The woman puts him in charge of writing about everything she has lived through and he feels bound to work out what lies behind her offer. "The Vigil" is a novel which unites the best and the worst of what it is to be human, It's a story about the infinite power of love, the value of our memories and the life we choose to lead in order to survive our past.
