Publisher's presentation:

When film and life come together to make fierce novels, the writer's eye lights up. What do The Birds , Marnie , Body Double , Working Girl , The Bonfire and Fifty Shades of Grey have in common? In other words, two indestructible classics of Alfred Hitchcock, the image tape of the 1980s and the biggest soft porn phenomenon of our time? Their heroines: Tippi Hedren, Melanie Griffith, Dakota Johnson, three women actively disappeared from mother to daughter...
In the mode of a reinvented non-fiction narrative, Hélène Frappat signs a spidery investigation on the surreal reality of a line of cursed Hollywood stars. And makes us *see* like never before what we had in front of our eyes *from the beginning*.
