It's the 18th century, and Celine is in trouble. Her husband is mostly absent. Her parents are elsewhere. And somewhere men are inventing stories about her - about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions. All these stories are lies, but the public loves them - spreading them like a plague. Celine watches as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten in the world. This is a world of decadence and saturation, of lavish parties and private salons, of tulle and satin and sex and violence. It's a universe ruled by men - all high on colonial genocide, natural destruction, crimes against women and, above all, language. To survive it, Celine and her friends must band together in search of justice, truth and beauty.
We dispatch items as soon as possible. If they are in stock, we typically dispatch books within two days. If we have to order them from our suppliers, it can take a little longer. We dispatch pre-orders on the date the book is published. We use Royal Mail second-class in the UK, and send books via standard international delivery to the EU and the rest of the world. In the UK delivery should take 3-4 days, in the rest of the world it could be a week or two.
