Description
Blanquette is the hilarious and sordid tale of a woman whose obsessive jealousy for her husband pushes her to murder. The catty main character wants to be everything for her man. To win him over, she sacrifices her career; to keep him, she turns herself into an expert cook and a fantastic lover. To honor him, she eliminates everyone else in his life: friends, parents, even their own daughter! An exclusive passion? Almost. After every attempt to be the center of her husband’s universe, she poisons his favorite dish. As he lays unconscious, she earnestly tells him how love led her to murder. In the same cynical vein as Diane Johnson’s Le Divorce, Laure Buisson’s novel is at once funny and disturbing as it explores the depths of every woman’s darkest desire…
