An Exaltation of Larks

"Flying to Paris, her last care (and her last job) fading away in the clouds beneath her, Christine Louis experiences a rare moment of personal equilibrium. When she arrives at the pension, she finds one thing conspicuously absent from her possessions: her purse. It's not just the robbery that annerves her, it's the dizzying vortax of emotions that is triggered by the loss. When one male hand sheaks into her luggage and removes her purse whole, he inadvartently brings about messive change in her life. Without speaking a word of French, without a friend, and without a dime, Christine must learn to survive."
