Now in paperback, A Cage in Search of a Bird is the gripping story
of two women caught in the vise of a terrible delusion. Laura
Wilmote is a television journalist living in Paris. Her life
couldn't be better-a stimulating job, a loving boyfriend,
interesting friends-until her phone rings in the middle of one
night. It is C., an old school friend whom Laura recently helped
find a job at the same television station: "My phone rang. I knew
right away it was you." Thus begins the story of C.'s unrelenting,
obsessive, incurable love/hatred of Laura. She is convinced that
Laura shares her love, but cannot-or will not-admit it. C. begins
to dress as Laura, to make her friends and family her own, and even
succeeds in working alongside Laura on the unique program that is
Laura's signature achievement. The obsession escalates, yet is
artfully hidden. It is Laura who is perceived as the aggressor at
work, Laura who appears unwell, Laura who is losing it. Even
Laura's adoring boyfriend begins to question her. Laura seeks the
counsel of a psychiatrist who diagnoses C. with De Clerambault
syndrome-she is convinced that Laura is in love with her. And
worse, the syndrome can only end in one of two ways: the death of
the patient, or that of the object of the obsession. A Cage in
Search of a Bird is the gripping story of two women caught in the
vise of a terrible delusion. Florence Noiville brilliantly narrates
this story of obsession and one woman's attempts to escape the
irrational love of another-an inescapable, never-ending love, a
love that can only end badly.
