    <![CDATA[he latest novel by France's 'literary lioness' (Elle Magazine) tells the story of an orphan girl named-haplessly-Plectrude. Raised by an eccentric if loving aunt, she is a dreamy child who is discovered to have enormous gifts as a dancer. Accepted at Paris's most prestigious ballet school, Plectrude devotes herself to artistic perfection, until her body can take no more. The portrait of the ballet world alone makes this un-for-gettable, but Nothomb offers much more in this brilliantly succinct story of haunted adolescence. In the end Plectrude takes command of her own fate by committing an act of such audacity it will leave readers breathless. The Book of Proper Names is vintage Nothomb: witty, troubling, mesmerizing.]]>
