Book description
>The action takes place on seven days,spread over a period of
between four or five weeks during May and June 1958. During that time,
Sarah Faulkner, celebrated diseuse, who has come home to rest after four
years of touring in Europe and America, is responsible, directly or
indirectly, for a great deal of disturbance,even for what may or may not
be a murder.
The chorus consists of her secretary and her masseuse, two women who, as
another character in the book says of them, have in them enough
derision, bitterness, greed, experience, to poison a city.
None the less, the mood of the book is one of entertainment, tart,
intelligent, witty.> >The action takes place on seven days,spread
