Louise is a middle-aged woman with a successful career at her marketing agency in New York. On the verge of a stress breakdown, her doctor advises her to take a month holiday in a thermal spa- isolated from her duties. She travels to a small village in France, where she meets Madame-Sur-Seine. Madame used to be a famous Cabaret dancer who lived in Paris in the glorious years. Louise is immediately fond of her, and thinks she can help her with her personal affairs-especially her relationships with men. What begins as a daily tea-time meeting chat becomes a training program on pleasure, self-love, and freedom. Louise turns into a sexy and appealing woman-as she has never felt before. Eager to thank the secretive Cabaret dancer on her way back to N.Y., she doesn't understand why no one answers the door when she knocks at it. She returns to her agency, but she cannot forget Madame. The way she can show her gratitude towards Madame is by applying her lessons to her daily life. Iconic. A life with pleasure. The book all women should read in their 30s.
