“Je m'assis devant Laurette, j'aurais sincèrement voulu lui dire des paroles utiles, qui la renourrissent, mais, en vérité, sur cette terre stérile, dans le silence et la solitude, ignorante et stérile moi même, que pouvais je lui donner ? Pourquoi aurait elle souhaité vivre ? Nous ne faisions rien, nous n'allions nulle part, nous n'étions personne.”

“In the middle section of the book Mirabelle breaks into not one, but two houses near Belgravia Books. I had fun scoping these out - checking which windows looked least secure and figuring out how to scale the mews houses to the rear to get her inside. A man came out at one point, 'What are you doing?' he questioned me. 'The thing is, I'm writing a book,' I started with a smile. He waved me off, his hand as wide as a tennis racket. 'Everyone is writing a book, my dear,' he said. Between you and I, it's his house that MIrabelle ends up breaking into.”
