Dans la maison familiale d’abord, là où la promiscuité interdit le moindre jardin secret, il se réfugie dans le saint des saints, la bibliothèque, pour assouvir ses fantasmes sous la muette approbation des livres... Puis à l’extérieur, lors de descentes dans les bas-fonds de Port-au-Prince où les prostituées lui procurent le plaisir tant recherché, et surtout lui racontent des femmes stupéfiantes, victimes de l’Histoire et de la cruauté des hommes. Mais la véritable initiation sentimentale de Carl débute lors d’un jeu de correspondance organisé par son école, où il échange avec la mystérieuse Coeur Qui Saigne... Leur première rencontre est un fiasco et Carl ne reverra la jeune fille que des années après. Il ne cessera alors de vouloir la sauver de son tragique destin.
