Reader for Hire

A beautiful homage to the art of reading – light and funny. A celebration of the union of sensuality and language. Marie-Constance loves reading and possesses an attractive voice. So, one day she decides to put an ad in the local paper offering her services as a paid reader. Her first client, a paralysed teenager, is transformed by her reading of a Maupassant short story. Marie-Constance`s fame spreads and soon the rich, the creative and the famous clamour for her services. —— Why Peirene chose to publish this book: `The premise of the story is brilliant: a woman who loves reading aloud acquires – without realizing – power over others. What`s true for her clients becomes real for you, the reader of this book. As you turn the pages, think of Marie-Constance as the personification of โ€readingโ€ itself. And I promise you an experience you will never forget.` Meike Ziervogel, Publisher
