    Product Description
    The narrator is a beautiful actress, at once confident in her talent and her beauty, and deeply insecure. At times contradictory and unreliable, the narrator—whose name we never learn—draws the reader into a world of memories, fantasies, and impressions, never revealing herself completely. She constantly teases the reader, who remains torn between what is truth and what is reality. And at the same time we are led to wonder whether Marceau's novel is wholly autobiographical, or whether she is leading us up the garden path on a grand scale. Through her beautifully crafted prose, Sophie Marceau has written a compelling exploration of female identity.

    At first I thought this book was too whimsical and self-indulgent to even begin, let alone finish, but an odd thing happened: as I kept reading, I found a rhythm to it that I really enjoyed. Perhaps it is because I have always admired Sophie Marceau's work and beauty, but before I knew it, I was totally entranced. It was like a lyrical daydream. There were even several paragraphs that really stood out as superb, original writing. With my intellectual hat on, I was a critic, but as soon as I took it off, I really became absorbed in this novelette.
