| Summary: | It's the eighteenth century, and Celine's husband is mostly absent, her parents are elsewhere and men are inventing stories about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions. All these stories are lies, but the public loves them and spreads them like a virus. Celine can only watch as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten in society. In a world ruled by men, high on colonial genocide, natural destruction, crimes against women and, above all, language, Celine and her friends must band together in search of justice, truth and beauty. |
