"Un livre peut-il porter à ce point la trace d'une femme ? Peut-on écrire seulement pour ça, pour se rapprocher de quelqu'un ou - de manière plus juste - pour l'attacher à soi ?" Lorsqu'il écrit son premier roman, Matthieu Brin.

Only a teenager when Delphine was born, Lucile raised two daughters largely alone. She was a former child model from a Bohemian family, younger and more glamorous than the other mothers: always in lipstick, wayward and wonderful. But as Delphine grew up, Lucile's occasional sadness gave way to overwhelming despair and delusion. She became convinced she was telepathic, in control of the Paris metro system; she gave away all her money; she was hospitalized, medicated, and released in a kind of trance.

As their friendship grows, Lou bravely asks her parents if No can live with them, and is astonished when they agree. No's presence forces Lou's family to come to terms with a secret tragedy.

Em uma obra em que o ouvinte é levado constantemente a questionar o que lhe é apresentado, Delphine de Vigan constrói um clima confessional, sombrio e opressivo para expor a obsessão do mercado editorial e do cinema pelas narrativas baseadas em fatos reais. A linha tênue entre verdade e mentira oscila para enriquecer uma poderosa reflexão sobre o fazer literário e questionar as fronteiras entre aparentes dicotomias, como real e ficção, razão e loucura, público e privado. Um audiolivro brilhante, que joga com os códigos da autoficção e do thriller psicológico.
