Driven mad by an office job, Lise flies south on holiday. In this metaphysical shocker, infinity and eternity attend Lise’s last terrible day in the unnamed southern city that is her final destination.
Lise is thin, neither good-looking nor bad-looking. One day she walks out of her office, acquires a gaudy new outfit, adopts a girlier tone of voice and heads to the airport to fly south. On the plane she takes a seat between two men. One is delighted with her company, the other is deeply perturbed.
So begins an unnerving journey into the darker recesses of human nature.
'Her spiny and treacherous masterpiece.'
The New Yorker
'An extraordinary tour de force, a crime story turned inside out.'
David Lodge
