Title : Mercury - Amélie Nothomb - book
Summary :
On an island off the coast of Cherbourg, an old man and a young girl live in isolation, surrounded by servants and bodyguards, protected from any reflection; under no circumstances must Hazel see her own face.
Hired to care for the young girl, Françoise, a nurse, will discover why Hazel resigns herself to the old man's caresses. She will understand the implacable machinations at the cost of the latter satisfying a mad, paroxysmal love...
At the heart of this disturbing closed-door drama, Amélie Nothomb rediscovers her favorite themes: absolute love and its illusions, passion inseparable from perversity.
