Paris. Two women. A café terrace.

A young woman from the provinces in lunching alone on a café terrace. A Parisian woman is waiting for her no-show of a boyfriend.
Two women with nothing in common but their looks... and the fact that they both happen to be in the same place at the same time, alone and judging ech other. Can you have a quiet, solitary lunch and be happy, one wonders, while the other thinks: how can anyone possibly talk so loudly and literally be carrying a wicker basket?
But are they really so different?
In tones by turns amused and dark, Charlotte Gabris tackles the issues of female rivalry and other people's opinions, which can be so very hard to ignore.
