Jayne Tuttle, acclaimed author of Paris or Die, returns to Paris
with My Sweet Guillotine. In the wake of a bizarre, shocking
accident in Paris, Jayne finds herself back in the city in a
strange limbo. Ignoring the past, she tries to move forward. There
is theatre. Love. New friendships. A new neighbourhood. But the
accident haunts her, forcing her to confront herself and the
experience in ways she could never have predicted. A tale of
survival and the untold joys of life's curveballs, My Sweet
Guillotine captures love and trauma with profound insight.
Confronting, funny, strange and real, this is a book about life,
death and reinvention, rendered in exquisite prose.
Sharp, funny and unflinchingly honest, Jayne Tuttle's memoir lifts
you off the page and into a Paris far beyond the postcards. This
new edition of Paris or Die is a headlong plunge into not just life
in Paris, but life itself. Aspiring actor Jayne lives in Melbourne,
where she dreams of a creative life. But after her mother dies
unexpectedly, Jayne loses her bearings. Untethered, heartsick, she
is soon on a plane to Paris with no return ticket. The city, it
seems, has its own plans for her. She finds herself in a vibrant
and dizzying neighbourhood, living in a former monastery, studying
at a famous theatre school, falling in love with a Frenchman too
beautiful to be real. She will forget her past and disappear into
the culture if it kills her. And one strange night, it nearly does.
Raw, real and evocative, Paris or Die is an unforgettable picture
of love, grief and adventure.
