ISBN: 9781921758935 PUBLISHER: Text Publishing Co FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 272 PUBLICATION DATE: 21.03.2012 DIMENSIONS: 234mmX153mm

DESCRIPTION: Paris, 1975. Sifting through the letters of condolence after her mother's death, Camille discovers a strange missive sent by someone she does not know. She thinks it is probably an error. But then, every Tuesday, a new letter arrives, recounting a tale of two impossible loves, four broken destinies, until the final denouement destroys everything in its inevitable path. Little by little, Camille begins to piece together the puzzle and is shocked to realise that this story has a direct bearing upon her own life. Alternating Camille's story and the mysterious letters from the unknown correspondent, Gremillon transports us to the years between 1939 and 1943, a fascinating time in French history, to tell a powerful story of friendship and secrets between women, of surrogacy, passionate love, jealousy, revenge and reconciliation. The Confidant is a thrilling debut novel that blends a historical setting and page-turning psychological suspense with a virtuoso literary style.
