Used book – La laisse, Françoise Sagan

Can one appropriate the object of one's love, imprison it, hold it at one's mercy?

Vincent has been suffocating for years with his wife Laurence, a wealthy bourgeois woman, intelligent without wit, beautiful without charm, passionate without tenderness. He is a musician without ambition but not without talent. Only his weakness allows him to endure his captivity. But one day, under his pianist's fingers, a melody is born that makes him rich and famous worldwide. Free? Not for long, because the jailer does not let go of her prey...
