3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting take on Parisian Belle Epoque, 25 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I picked this up at the airport, in search of something that would tide me over a 4 day trip. The good things in it were the descriptions of the hero's passion for a woman he feels he cannot fully win, and the roman a clef sections about Impressionists, Colette, Picasso and other avant-garde artists in Paris before 1914. The reason I gave it only 3 stars were because it was a sequel to a previous book which I had not come across, and I thought some of the characters and situations suffered because of that, and because there was a tired old plot irrelevance about the prostitute and the serial killer, which would have brought the book in under 300 pages and enriched it considerably to have left out. Also, the heroine, Perdita, is repeatedly described as being blind, but you get no real feeling of her being blind. So, yes, it was absorbing enough, but no, it wasn't brilliant, as some of the blurb reviews claim.
