Scandal, intoxication and lies flourish in the silent film studios of Paris. Gay's the Word bookshop invites you to this book event celebrating publication of Petite Mort - a stunningly written novel of murder and Sapphic seduction set in the world of the French Silent film industry. A FREE event. Complimentary refreshments provided. A silent film, destroyed in a fire in 1913 at the Path studio, before it was seen even by its director. A lowly seamstress, who makes the costumes she should be wearing, but believes her talent - and the secret she keeps too - will soon get her a dressing room of her own. A beautiful house in Paris, with a curving staircase, a lake, and locked rooms. A famous - and dashing - creator of spectacular cinematic illusions, husband to a beautiful, volatile actress, the most adored icon of the Parisian studios. All fit together, like scenes in a movie.
