Dear Marble Slab
A masterfully constructed novel that chronicles the agonising unravelling of a charismatic psyche whilst tracing the almost painful human need for connection and acceptance.
A student becomes romantically involved with her married creative writing professor, Simon Girard. In him, she finds a man who would never betray her. Trustworthy, silent, unyielding; just like a marble slab. The letters she writes to him capture her life in Paris, their peculiar relationship and her gradual breakdown, which will lead her to a psychiatric hospital. Ten years later, now married, she lives on the island where she grew up, working in the family restaurant. When Tony, an old friend and gallery owner, asks to include these letters in an exhibition entitled ‘Contemporary Female Artists Who Went Mad’, the past resurfaces in an uncontrollable way.
