""A novel describing the wanderings of a young woman called ""the fruit thief"" through northern France""-- Provided by publisher. On a summer day under a blue sky a man is stung on his foot by a bee. He takes it as a sign to hit the road, and boards a train to Paris, crosses the city by M♭tro, then boards another, disembarking in a small town on the plains to the north. He is searching for a young woman he calls the Fruit Thief, who, like him, has set off on a journey to the Vexin plateau. As he charts the Fruit Thief’s perambulations across France's internal borderlands, chance encounters expose new facets of this mysterious individual. - adapted from jacket.
