Four works, four territories, one relentless intelligence.

A mysterious stranger boards a storm-threatened ferry from Cadzand to Ostend and is welcomed only by the poor - and then a writer sits alone in a ruined Parisian church and asks what it means, in the modern world, to believe the legend he has just told. A fabric salesman in Paris practices the most demanding of arts: knowing what a customer wants before she does, and supplying it with a precision that leaves her certain the choice was entirely her own. A French soldier lost in the Sahara discovers a sleeping panther in a desert cave, names her Mignonne, and finds himself constructing something that the available categories of feeling cannot quite describe. And in Issoudun, a town in the Berry, two brothers arrive from Paris to save an old man's inheritance from the people systematically stripping it away - and discover that provincial intrigue is as ruthless as any battlefield, and that the brother most equal to it is the one the wars have made capable of anything.
