FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN

There's a voice in Aline's head- a voice that wants out.

Brash, boisterous and sexually adventurous, this voice seems to be the antithesis of Aline, a prim literature professor for whom each day promises to be as quiet and conventional as the last.

That is until, after thirty-five years of imprisonment, her alter ego breaks free.

Taking on a life of his own, - Aline's second self - slips into the taut, rugged body of a young man. As Aline continues unaware, follows, dragging gleeful chaos in his wake, vowing to leave both their existences forever altered.

A bewitching fable, an androgynous dream, one woman's reckoning with all the hidden sides of her soul.

'Imagination. Jacqueline Harpman certainly doesn't lack any. With incredible mastery, she juggles with identities, intertwines desires and fears, fantasies and frustrations.' -L'Express
