Julia and Bertrand’s eleven-year-old daughter. Zoë is upbeat and energetic, with a strong sense of humor. She is also incredibly perceptive. Although Julia does not tell her daughter that she is pregnant, when Julia nearly suffers a miscarriage in Italy, Zoë immediately intuits that this pregnancy is what is causing unspoken tension between her parents. Zoë is very supportive of her mother, eager to help with Julia’s research and even occasionally reprimanding Bertrand for his ill-spirited teasing of Julia.
