«Mercure» is the novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by Livre de Poche in paperback (188 pages, in French).
On an island off Cherbourg, an old man and a young woman, Hazel, live isolated from all reflection: she must never see her own face. Françoise, the nurse hired to care for her, discovers the unsettling relationship that binds them and the machination behind an obsessive love. It is a claustrophobic tale about absolute love, illusion, and perversity.
Originally published in 1998, this edition came out in 2000 as number 14911 of the Le Livre de Poche collection.
For readers of contemporary French fiction and admirers of Amélie Nothomb's work.
