Overview

Sometimes, everything can change with just a few words. Dr. Edmond Gauthier is a respected cardiologist and university dean in Cape Town who has built his life on clarity, discipline, and emotional restraint. After spending years saving lives while losing parts of himself, he now seeks only silence and simplicity. Claire Vannier, an internationally acclaimed violinist, lives for intensity, precision, and relentlessly pursuing excellence. On stage, she is flawless. Off stage, however, she is exhausted by the cost of perfection and the fear of being truly seen. They meet by chance when Edmond saves Claire's mother's life. A few words are exchanged. A subtle connection begins. Despite being separated by oceans, time zones, and carefully guarded lives, they build an unexpected bond-first through messages, then late-night calls, and finally, a meeting in Paris that changes everything. But closeness awakens old wounds. One moment of panic and one evening of misplaced words cause everything to collapse. What follows is not a typical love story, but rather, the slow, honest journey of two people learning to speak without armor, listen without fear, and meet each other without masks. Set against the backdrop of the wild shores of Brittany, the energy of Cape Town, and the quiet forests of Virginia, A Few Words Away explores the following themes: the fine line between intimacy and silence, how we sabotage what we most desire, the difference between passion and depth, and what it means to begin again without pretending the past never happened. Poetic, emotionally intelligent, and profoundly human, A Few Words Away is a novel about second chances-not in time, but in truth. It is perfect for readers of literary fiction, thoughtful character-driven romance, and emotional stories.
