In India, Smita, a Dalit woman, dreams of providing her young daughter with an education. Determined to secure a better future, she makes the difficult decision to leave everything she knows behind.

In Sicily, Giulia works in her father's wig workshop, the last of its kind in Palermo. When a serious accident threatens her family's livelihood, Giulia discovers the true weight of her responsibilities.

In Canada, Sarah is a twice-divorced mother of three and a successful lawyer whose identity is intertwined with her work. As she stands on the brink of a long-awaited promotion, a breast cancer diagnosis forces her to re-evaluate her priorities.

Laetitia Colombani masterfully weaves together the stories of these three women, highlighting their determination, bravery, and hope in the face of adversity. The Braid is a poignant tale that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of connection in an ever-changing world.
