A young woman walks out on her life, taking only her young daughter. They stop at a small French town where they make contacts, with the owner of a flat, with a swimming instructor who is teaching the child, and with a strangely hesitant private investigator, hired by the woman's deserted husband.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'There are very few writers who may have changed my perception of the world, but Darrieussecq is one of them'. Francis Gilbert, The Times 'This is an extraordinary novel by a stunningly talented writer... To give shape to disassociation and substance to emptiness - to "hover above the void" - takes considerable courage and commitment'. Alex Clark, Guardian
About the Author
Marie Darrieussecq was born in 1969 in Bayonne, France. Pig Tales (1996) was published in 34 countries. Her second novel, My Phantom Husband (1998), became an immediate bestseller. For The New Yorker, she is France's best young novelist, according to the Glasgow Herald, 'she makes all those daring young men of British letters look very tamo indeed'.
