About This Book

A young Canadian nurse visiting the French Riviera pursues a position with a private physician and, during a tense interview at his meticulously kept villa, encounters an imposing, deliberate doctor and a household whose formal order masks an undercurrent of unease. Practical matters—references, language ability, and duties—are balanced against her mix of exhilaration and apprehension. Early scenes concentrate on character detail, setting, and social interaction, establishing a mood of restrained suspense that hints at personal and professional complications to come.
