New York, 90s. The defiantly beautiful and pathologically insecure heroine - an aspiring writer - having lost her unlucky, riotous, dearly beloved father, fleeing depression, runs away from her native Paris to the main metropolis of the world in search of inspiration and great love. What she will find there, you will learn from the novel, but America itself, seen through the eyes of a French woman, is already, believe me, a powerful sight! Catherine Pankol, prose writer, journalist and professor of philology, familiar to Russian readers from the novels “I Was First” and “A Man at a Distance,” does not need any special introduction. Both the public and critics, regardless of countries and continents, enthusiastically greet each of her new books, since Pankol writes smart, ironic novels that absolutely everyone likes: some enjoy the cheerful and daring love affair, others are captivated by the elegance of the style and the depth of the subtext.< /p>
