How
many times had I dreamt of coming across the yellowing manuscript of
La Chasse Spirituelle? Inside an old book on a stall in Paris,
perhaps. Or in the attic of some befriended ancient. How many
daydreams had I enjoyed over the possibility that one day...?
I
shook myself. It couldn’t possibly be true.
1872:
The explosive love affair between flamboyant French poets Arthur
Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine rocks French society. They flee to London,
abandoning the manuscript of La
Chasse Spirituelle
to Verlaine’s scorned young wife. When a lawyer's clerk salvages it
from a dusty deed box, the manuscript begins its journey down the
decades, revealing the secrets and betrayals of its various keepers.
2004:
Andrea Mann, disenchanted with life and love, travels to France.
Driven by her obsession with Rimbaud, she’s chasing her dream –
the missing manuscript. Beside the poet’s grave at
Charleville-Mézières, she meets a beautiful young man who shows her
a single page – from La
Chasse Spirituelle.
Andrea
embarks on a desperate quest. Drawn into a manipulative relationship
with the youth and his Svengali-like mentor, the mysterious Albert,
she faces unwelcome truths. The closer she gets to the manuscript,
the further she veers from reality.
But
is Albert’s copy genuine? And can La
Chasse Spirituelle
fill the void in Andrea’s soul?
