Publisher's Synopsis
A woman addresses letters to an absent loved one while in the apartment opposite hers, a mysterious female figure keeps on appearing under a landscape painter's brush. Directing her reader and characters with a deftness reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, Lucie Paye dramatises the power of unconditional love and the role of the unconscious in artistic creation. From Paris to Naples, Mauritius and London, Absence traces a poignant search for redemption and truth, among the lies that destroy lives.
