What’s the answer for a solitary young American in Paris? For Remedy, salvation doesn’t lie in her job at A La Mode Online, but at a local Catholic church, where she finds inspiration in the saints. It is with the help of these ancients that the ups and downs of working life, romantic traumas and an extremely odd set of neighbours become bearable. Anne Marsella’s debut novel is one of the most quirky to have hit the shelves for years – and certainly boasts one of the most unusual and entertaining heroines.
