Meet Remedy: a young, single American living on the rive gauche and toiling at an on-line fashion magazine. She may have her feet on well-trodden expat ground, but she has her head in the clouds and the path she walks through Paris is distinctly original. When she's not dreaming up articles about this season's must-have accessory or foiling her best friend's attempts at match-making, she attends mass with a blind nun, shimmies her way through belly-dancing classes and mediates on the lives of the saints. All the while, believing that spiritual enlightenment and romantic fulfilment might be just around the corner . . .
Originally from California, Anne Marsella lives in Paris with her husband, a jazz musician, and their son. Her previous book, a story collection, The Lost and Found (NYU Press) won the Bobst Award in the mid-nineties and received a glowing full-page review in the New York Times.
