About the Author:

PIERRE PEJU, writer, philosopher and director of studies at the International College of Philosophy, has written four books including The Girl from the Chartreuse.

Review:

"This is a story of light and shadow, of forests and clearings, of memory and shame, told in effortless prose, with a beautiful literary intelligence" * L'Express * "A powerful novel...beautiful prose which offers acute observations as it reflects on the fragility of life" * Financial Times * "A meditation on the nihilism of the 20th century...But it is also, as all good novels must be, a narrative, and one that is gripping - often chilling, but with marvellous moments of redemptive tenderness" * Scotsman *
