Reader Review

'This is a singular book, an original story that ravishes all our senses. I devoured this colourful story, the second in the Sole Brethren series, and even after turning the final page, I still get the impression that on every street corner (I live in Paris, one of the emblematic places of the novel) the three glamorous heroes, Cordelia Rex and Elodie, will suddenly appear and that they will invite me to accompany them in their glamorous and fantastic adventures. This novel is of incredible creative richness, a funny and inventive modern tale and what a brilliant style! It contains language treasures, witty wordplays, hilarious repartees and is a joy to read.
