- Summary
- "The beautiful orphan, Albertine, is trapped in her lover's Paris apartment. She longs for his wealth and status, and hopes he will make her safe. Sickly and pampered, he is lured by her verve, the ease of her body, the pleasures he suspects are lurking in her past. Gradually, as they circle each other, their love starts to suffocate them both. This is a strange and captivating liaison, which starts on the wide sands of Normandy and ends in the city streets, in a hidden world behind closed doors. And as Albertine struggles to escape, her only delight lies in her free, sensual women friends. Yet even to them she remains mysterious. Can anyone answer the question - who is Albertine?"--BOOK JACKET.
