Confessions D Une Cleptomane [French]

By Florence Noiville

In the Lestrange family, the women are redheads and kleptomaniacs, from mother to daughter...

To outward appearances, Valentine de Lestrange is quite the respectable lady. A distinguished, wealthy, middle-aged woman, and the wife of a minister to boot. But a very absent minister. So much so that the bored, lonely Valentine fills the void in her daily life by succumbing to a thrilling sport: kleptomania.
The frisson of forbidden fruit, the transports of transgression: there's no better way to cheer her up than these adrenaline rushes. To Valentine, every "klept" is a game, a challenge she sets herself: a "kleptless" day is a wasted day. Until one day when, almost without meaning to, she goes "a steal too far". And stumbles across a document she should never have seen. That will change the course of her life.
Florence Noiville continues her exploration of the human condition through the prism of mental disorders, and gives us a wonderful portrait of a woman.
