Because Ruth and Lucille were orphaned at a young age, they were raised by various relatives... ...and now it's Aunt Sylvie's turn. But Aunt Sylvie is not like the rest of the family. Because she has always lived in the countryside, it is very hard for her to change her deviant way of life. She takes afternoon naps on park benches and wears an overcoat lined with old newspapers. Sylvie may be a little too conspicuous, but to the girls she is like a breath of fresh air. In this wonderful story about peculiar relationships, loneliness and family ties, Lucille and Ruth have to learn to live with their eccentric aunt Sylvie and deal with the responsibilities of a family.
