- Summary:
- "In this novel of two parts ... we see the heroine Minne at two stages in her life. The cherished teenager, only child of a devoted mother, has a secret life: she wishes to belong to one of the street gangs who roam the outer boulevards of Paris. Her desire for excitement, power and love drives her into a dangerous adventure. Years later, as a married woman, she remains dissatisfied. She takes lovers, none of whom can make her a 'whole woman.' Only when her marital crisis reaches an extreme pitch does she find the answer, in an unexpected place"-- Page 4 of cover.
