In an elegant bourgeois building in Paris, Renée, its concierge, pretends to be an ordinary woman while secretly cultivating an intellectual life; Paloma, a twelve-year-old prodigy, feels disillusioned with the world.

A read for book clubs and for those seeking contemporary fiction with a philosophical undertone and two very distinct narrative voices.
