After two years in the Burmese jungle, Edward Courtlandt, a rich American, returns to Paris to see Nora Harrigan again. She has become a famous opera singer, performing at the Opera under an Italian name. When he forces his way in, she shoots at him and misses, then disappears, and the newspapers talk of a kidnapping.
What happened between them two years earlier? The novel reveals it little by little, between comedy and suspense, from Paris to Lake Como.
Light and full of twists, it is easy to read in the language you are learning.
