The Fortune Teller

A dreamy and elegant novel which mysterious atmosphere reminds of Amélie. Ombline lives by herself in Montmartre with her two parrots called Maman and Papa. A fortune teller advises her to live and love instead of remaining turned to the past. Her neighbour Pierre has been betrayed by a woman and thinks he cannot love anymore. Will they get to know each other or will Ombline follow Mr Fitzpatrick, the mysterious crocodile-man’s advice to remain pure and lonely? By multi-awarded author Fabrice Colin, whose novels have been translated into English and Spanish.
