Condition: new

When Blanches mother, who finds her own daughter rather colourless, bookish and dull, is also dazzled by Christa, she soon invites her to stay at the family house. Suddenly Christa can do no wrong and, as Blanches parents scour their address books for long-lost friends to invite to dinner to meet the newcomer, their friendship sours and Blanches already negligible self-confidence goes into a steep decline. With all the characteristics of Amelie Nothombs unique fictional landscapes, Antechrista is a funny, dark and revealing journey through female friendship and rivalry.
