2 in stock - Almost gone!

A maid in the service of the bourgeoisie, she is hardworking, courageous, and devoted. But this particular weekend, she dreads going to the Daniels’ house. For once, Madame has agreed to go out into the countryside for some fresh air. So the young maid will have to stay alone with Monsieur, a former pianist weighed down by bitterness, a veteran of the Battle of the Somme with a disfigured face. She will have to live with him, wash him, feed him. But Monsieur has another plan in mind. An irrevocable, staggering plan. What if she agrees? What if she defies him? What if they surprise each other? 

Domestique au service des bourgeois, elle est travailleuse, courageuse, dévouée. Mais ce week-end-là, elle redoute de se rendre chez les Daniel. Exceptionnellement, Madame a accepté d'aller prendre l'air à la campagne. Alors la petite bonne devra rester seule avec Monsieur, un ancien pianiste accablé d'amertume, gueule cassée de la bataille de la Somme. Il faudra cohabiter, le laver, le nourrir. Mais Monsieur a un autre projet en tête. Un plan irrévocable, sidérant. Et si elle acceptait ? Et si elle le défiait ? Et s'ils se surprenaient ?

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
