Meet Renee, the epitome of what society expects a concierge to be in an upscale Parisian apartment building. But Renee is an autodidact who adores literature, music, art and philosophy.  Then there is Paloma, a brilliant 12 year old girl who is hides her talents, waiting for her next birthday when she plans to die.

This is a beautifully written book, biting, intelligent, and full of ideas. A celebration of the hidden in all of us, it is both a work of social criticism and a paean to beauty. --Angela M.
