Used book – L'Enlevement des sabines, Emilie de Turckheim

"She's ugly and vulgar. She has the kind of beauty that makes men wicked. I must have her." Sabine is speechless when her colleagues give her a sex doll to celebrate her departure. The unusual doll takes up residence with her and her partner Hans, a brilliant director obsessed with Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy. As days pass, the unmoving guest becomes Sabine's confidante, muse, object of all desire, and soon her only ally against the violence that has settled at the heart of a crumbling relationship.

A shaken and shaking fable. Olivia de Lamberterie, Elle.
