Nathalie does snapshots of people’s lives. Those she can see from her own flat, going up the entire five floors and puts together a real life peep vicariously into what is going on, including a murder. The book is very French in flavor though that is not an apt description on my part. The stories are very different in both the telling and the listening to, and seem somehow different.
Dr Fabre is the therapist but one never knows whether the stories are true or not or whether Nathalie is maneuvering the older man for reasons of her own. The final story is the quirkiest and the end.
Entertaining and a quick read.
