  • "Pour séduire l'homme qu'elle aime et qui est amoureux d'une autre, une jeune femme qui travaille à la gare du Nord à Paris n'hésite pas à souffrir et à ne faire aucune concession ; au point de se dire prostituée et d'aller jusqu'au bout de ce rôle... Premier roman."
  • "The nameless Parisian female narrator works at the Gare du Nord train station announcing arrival and departure times. With little connection to her coworkers and the harried travelers who throng the station, she is hardly more than a disembodied voice. The job perfectly complements her emotional state. She is obsessed with a married man who scarcely notices her, and she often finds herself at the mercy of strange men, including a transvestite entertainer, a North African drug dealer, and a psychiatric intern with a bondage fetish. She finally makes a connection with the man she loves, but things do not go smoothly, and she seems headed for either a breakdown or a breakthrough.--From Booklist."
