This spare, unforgettable novel is Pierre Michon's luminous
exploration of the mysteries of desire. A young teacher takes his
first job in a sleepy French town. Lost in a succession of rainy
days and sleepless nights, he falls under the spell of a town
resident, a woman of seductive beauty and singular charm. Yvonne.
Yvonne. "Everything about her screamed desire...setting something
in motion while settling a fingertip to the counter, turning her
head slightly, gold earrings brushing her cheek while she watched
you or watched nothing at all; this desire was open, like a wound;
and she knew it, wore it with valor, with passion." Michon probes
the destructive powers of passion and the consuming need for love
in this heartbreaking novel.
