The art of lying is as natural as breathing to an actress - it has to be. And to Sophie Marceau's actress, the line between lying and simply being is an invisible one.
The narrator, an unnamed but famous actress, takes us on a journey of remembered events - emotional, physical and sensual, lingering on young love affairs, some regretted, some cherished, and events and people who have shaped her life and her work. She lives alone in Paris, a city whose bustle, beauty and physical presence she evokes with consummate power, reflecting on her profession, on beauty and, ultimately, on her solitariness.
A beautifully crafted and paradoxical novel, 'Telling Lies' is an absorbing and intimate portrait of a woman who is out of reach, even sometimes to herself.
