Florence Darrow has been working in New York City as an editorial assistant in a publishing firm. At a holiday party she goes off to have a one-night stand with her boss's boss who, of course, is married. Although she assured the man afterwards that they were good, she started stalking his wife and kids. Then, unbelievably, she sent him pictures that she had taken of them. Of course, she was fired. Like everyone else (it seemed) she had read Mississippi Foxtrot by Maud Dixon. Maud Dixon is a pseudonym and only her agent knows who she really is. Then Florence gets offered a job as a personal assistant for the reclusive author, Helen Wilcox, and learns that she is Maud Dixon. Florence moves into the guesthouse on Helen's property and is soon acting like a rock musician fan by trying to look and sound and write like Helen. (Naturally, Florence is an aspiring writer.) Helen, for her part, seems to quite like Florence. When Helen suggests going to Morocco to do research for her new novel Florence is thrilled. They set themselves up in a villa on the coast near a small town that gets its share of American tourists. Life seems too good to be true to Florence and that is when everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Florence is pulled from the car they have rented after driving off the coast road. In the hospital when she regains consciousness everyone starts calling her Madame Wilcox Florence cannot remember driving or going off the road but she thinks Helen must have been with her. Does that mean Helen died in the crash? The only identification left to her is Helen's so she decides to become Helen. Possibly not the best decision Florence has made as later events will show.
Neither Helen nor Florence are very likable characters. I always stuggle with a book when I can't like or at least empathisize with the main characters. Yet another reason for my less than rave of a review.… (altro)
