'As a chronicle of the humiliations and occasional joys of loving someone whose own feelings are more ambiguous...it feels queasily accurate...A sometimes biting, often sharply observed take on a relationship one would surely rather read about than be part of.'--Kirkus'[Readers will] find themselves enchanted by Darrieussecq's silken, dreamy prose and this sly exploration of female desire and interracial couplings.'--Booklist
'There are few writers who may have changed my perception of the world, but Darrieussecq is one of them.'--Times
'Anyone who has experienced heartbreak will relate but should beware because this is a moody, powerful book.'--The Age
'Anyone who has experienced heartbreak will relate but should beware because this is a moody, powerful book.'--The Age
Solange is thirty-something, a mediocre actress, and not a great mother. In Hollywood she falls for a charismatic actor, Kouhouesso, who wants to direct a movie of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness--in Africa.
Solange follows her man to Africa, determined to play a main role in both his film and his affections. But nothing goes to plan in this witty examination of romance, movie-making and clichés about race relations. After all, there's no guarantee you'll be loved by the one you love.
