"I was bored with my husband," says Anne-Marie, the irrepressible voice of
, "but you know, boredom is part of love." Mostly she is speaking here of her more famous friend and colleague, the French actress Giselle Fayolle, in whose shadow she has spent her career. "My life was a near miss," she adds, before explaining that she enunciated well because "I loved to say the words." A very short novel with the power and resonance of a much longer one,
is a profound and moving act of remembrance, a clear-eyed assessment of the hard-edged nature of fame, a meditation on agingand a wonderfully observant and comic exploration of human foibles. In short, another thought-provoking master class in how we perform life by the peerless Yasmina Reza.
