「安妮一直是我生命裡的一部分，她出生的時候，我已經兩歲，只差幾天就滿兩歲。我們小時候住在同一座村子裡……」
在成堆慰問母親過世的郵件中，卡蜜兒注意到一封來自一位陌生男子的怪異信件。這封信既沒開頭招呼語，也未附自我介紹，只是兀自訴說有關「安妮」的種種往事。接下來的每個星期二，她都陸續收到這位男子的信。
男子自稱路易，他衷心傾慕的青梅竹馬安妮正在遠離兩人共有的平靜生活。因為她開始與剛搬入村中的貴族M夫人交好，而在夫人清冷的莊園裡，還有其丈夫保羅的身影。某天，夫人向安妮提出一個建議，沒想到安妮善意的回應，卻讓四個人的人生掀起前所未有的風暴……
卡蜜兒彷彿在信中看見自己某些身影，使她不由得期待起每個星期二的匿名信。直到有一天，她赫然發現－－這些信似乎不只是些與她無關的愛情故事，而是正在逐步揭露一個與她密切相關的驚人真相……
Paris, 1975. Camille sifts through letters of condolence after her mother's death when a strange, handwritten missive stops her short. At first she believes she received it by mistake. But then, a new letter arrives each week from a mysterious stranger, Louis, who seems intent on recounting the story of his first love, Annie. They were separated in the years before World War II when Annie befriended a wealthy, barren couple and fell victim to a merciless plot just as German troops arrive in Paris. But also awaiting Camille's discovery is the other side of the story, which will call into question Annie's innocence and reveal the devastating consequences of jealousy and revenge. As Camille reads on, she begins to realize that her own life may be the next chapter in this tragic story.
