"Resistance is futile...You might as well buy it before someone recommends it for your book group. It's charm will make you say yes."Renee is the concierge of a grand Parisian apartment building on the Left Bank. To the residents she is honest, reliable, and uncultivated - an ideal concierge. But Renee has a secret. Beneath this conventional facade she is passionate about culture and the arts, and more knowledgeable in many ways than her self-important employers.
(The Guardian)
"This breathtakingly singular novel...is totally French yet completely universal."
