'Entrancing and antic and sensual as a dream' Guardian
The second novel by the author of The Lonely Hearts Hotel
Longlisted for the Baileys Prize 2015
At birth, Nouschka forms a bond with her twin that can never be broken.
At six, she's the child star daughter of Quebec's most famous musician.
At sixteen, she's a high-school dropout kicking up with her beloved brother.
At nineteen, she's the Beauty Queen of Boulevard Saint-Laurent.
At twenty, she's back in night school. And falling for an ex-convict.
And it's all being filmed by a documentary crew.
