La Vraie Reine follows Simon-Pierre Lachance, the 17-year-old narrator, in a tightly-wound Quebec City family during the fall of 1978. The story unfolds through his introspective, observational lens as he records evidence of family life, a strategy encouraged by his father and sharpened by both parents' devotion to hierarchy, ritual, and judgment. The novel is organized chronologically and thematically, with each chapter's scenes providing both event and reflection.

La Vraie Reine is a complex, slow-burning family drama that uses the language of bureaucracy, ritual, and observational science to explore themes of belonging, judgment, and the limits of objectivity. The early chapters set the stage for a clash between care and condemnation, pushing the narrator from chronicler to active participant in his family's struggle for understanding or survival.
