A gripping story of two women caught in the vice of De Clerambault s Syndrome, a chronic, dangerous and sometimes fatal illness, A Cage In Search of a Birdis an emotional thriller, the story of obsession and one woman s attempts to escape the irrational love of another an inescapable, never-ending love, a love that can only end badly. To quote Milan Kundera, What [the novel] exposes is the strong and inexplicable presence of love amidst hatred. Laura Wilmote is a television journalist living in Paris.Her life couldn t be better a stimulating job, a loving boyfriend, interesting friends until her phone rings in the middle of one night. It is C., an old school friend whom Laura recently helped find a job at the same television station: My phone rang. I knew right away it was you. Thus begins the story of C. s unrelenting, obsessive, incurable love/hatred of Laura. She is convinced that Laura shares her love, but cannot or will not admit it. C. begins to dress as Laura, to make her friends and family her own, and even succeeds in working alongside Laura on the unique programme that is Laura s signature achievement. The obsession escalates, yet is artfully hidden. It is Laura who is perceived as the aggressor at work, Laura who appears unwell, Laura who is losing it . Even Laura s adoring boyfriend begins to question her state of mind. How will it all end? For De Clerambault patients, as Laura is told by her psychiatrist friend, the syndrome can only end in one of two ways: the death of the patient, or that of the object of the obsession. Florence Noiville brilliantly narrates Laura s desperate attempt to escape the grip of C. s obsession. The lines between affection, love and hatred are blurred. Will Laura succeed, or will the cage ultimately succeed in trapping the bird? "
